Invite your muse this spring

বসন্তে-বসন্তে তোমার কবিরে দাও ডাক
Boshonte boshonte tomar kobire daao daak (audio link)

Invite your muse this spring
and the next
but let her free to leave

Her missive shall remain
Like a lilting tune

She will be back when you desire 
Her heart will crack open with a song
in your garden-bed
Her pulse will beat in the cadence 
of boughs

Hold her tunes in your lute
Let her tears find their way 
with the humming bees.
