Like Yáma with his noose in hand.

I tell thee Rávaṇ, in my fright

A thousand Rámas mock my sight,

This wood with every bush and bough

Seems all one fearful Ráma now.

Throughout the grove there is no spot

So lonely where I see him not.

He haunts me in my dreams by night,

And wakes me with the wild affright.

The letter that begins his name
