When the big Krait fell down in the room, br Coal tar black and glazy enough br The snake was, br Black and beautiful br Mixing with the dark dead night, br My mother and brother sleeping on the floor, br but awoke she br As if held by the memory of the dead father br Or some sleeplessness br All of a sudden to see a deadly Krait br Crawling and licking at the corner of the titled house. br br A Ghorkrait, an old and big Krait was it, br A snake so black and beautiful, br But deadly and fatal, br I still remember the night br And shudder at remembering it, br The night of the Krait.
