Humble Awe
Dr Vivek Madhukar 1971 (Dhanbad)
So radiant a face
Such warmth of love
And so cosy a bosom,
Belong only to a
Soul that's
Pure and winsome.
To sacrifice the rays of the sun
On so lovely a face
I wanna sacrifice heaven over hell
For so comely a grace.
It consoles my heart
To think when the war is waged,
To sacrifice my life
And get your heart that's caged.
