Come, dearest, to the stream descend,

Approach her as a darling friend,

And dip thee in the silver flood

Which lotuses and lilies stud.

Let this fair hill Ayodhyá seem,

Its silvan things her people deem,

And let these waters as they flow

Our own beloved Sarjú show.

How blest, mine own dear love, am I;

Thou, fond and true, art ever nigh,
