A Tuggaree twined in thy hair.

And about thy head shall play

A sportive punkah all the day;

While the bulbul’s song by night

Shall fill thee with supreme delight,

And to the tomtom’s plaintive string

Shall Koot Nerbudda Chundra sing.

Maid of Ganges! dost thou love

To watch the smoke-rings curl above?

Dost thou smoke? Then so do I,
