A man filled grain
in a tattered sack
and walked all night
fearing the toll-gates
but the grain went through the tatters
and all he got was the gunny sack.
It is thus
with the devotion
of the faint-hearted
and publish for others
the fragrance
in the little bud?
Can even begetters, father and mother,
display for onlooker's eyes
the future breast and flowing hair
in the little girl
about to be bride?
Only ripeness
can show consequence,
O Ramanatha.

Can the wind bring outand publish for others
