আকালৰ চোতাল | শস্যৰ পথাৰ উদং | কিশোৰৰ হেৰাল
স্বপ্ন স্বাধীনতা | গৰ্ভৱতী নাৰী নিদ্ৰাত নিহত |
মূলত কি বিহ ? উছন গ'ল গাঁও | নষ্ট নগৰ |
মৃত্যুৰ মলিন ছাঁত, অশ্লীল বণিজ | পাপ মুদ্ৰাৰ পায়োভৰ |
হে সময়, গৰ্জি উঠা, নিয়োজিত কৰা সৰ্বোত্তম প্ৰতিভা |


Songs Set To Music 10. Set By Mr. Smith

Why, Harry, what ails you? why look you so sad?
To think and ne'er drink will make you stark mad.
'Tis the mistress, the friend, and the bottle, old boy,
Which create all the pleasure poor mortals enjoy;
But wine of the three's the most cordial brother,
For one it relieves, and it strengthens the other.


Song of Spring Palace

She brings a broom at dawn to the Golden Palace doorway
And dusts the hall from end to end with her round fan,
And, for all her jade-whiteness, she envies a crow
Whose cold wings are kindled in the Court of the Bright Sun.


Song of Fidelity

Parasol trees age side by side,
Mandarin ducks die together in pairs.
A pure woman would die with her husband,
just give her life away,
no waves stirring in
her heart calm as water in a well.
