Mandolin of the Mendicant

Travel far and near into the light of the day
Stretched across muddy cobblestones and grassland hay
Arrive at dawn, the forest still young
Play the strings for a beginner’s song
“Go begging when buds are asleep
Still waters run into the deep,
Forgotten are days of funeral pyre
Falcon cries in a winding gyre”.
- Joy Roy Choudhury
