Though silent she, her looks to all made known

Her love for Timmaraj, the author brave

Of all his country's good. Yet still she kept

A seal upon her lips, until by chance

An incident occurred which sealed her fate.

As on the sand near by the water's edge

One thoughtless stands to watch with eager eyes

The surf that beats continuous on the shore,

And suddenly when least expected flows

A wave that reaches far beyond the rest,
