Footprints on the sand br br Sitting on the window sill, I strained my ears br To hearken the voice of your treads. br I searched for your foot prints, br On the courtyard of my house, in the sand br The tinkle of your bangles rustling br Against your attire, was heard br Somewhere, through the air. br In my yearning to hear the soft music br Of your love, I heard the vailing of br A nightingale, singing to its mate. br I saw a shadow in the twilight br On the footpath, leading to my house. br Was that an apparition? br br A thousand tidings, I wanted to tell you; br Soothing your love stricken heart; br Wiping, the crystal drops of tears in your eyes. br To enliven your insipid passions, br To take you away into the land of the rainbows, br Among, the wandering clouds, where the moon br Traverse leisurely among the stars. br There we will find our tenement br And live for ever and ever in our love.
