And laid you on the gates of evening with his quiet hands.

[Sits down on the steps of the temple]

Vijaya, I have brought my evening rice;

The sun has laid his chin on the gray wood,

Weary, with all his poppies gathered round him.

VIJAYA.

The hour when Kama, full of sleepy laughter,

Rises, and showers abroad his fragrant arrows,

Piercing the twilight with their murmuring barbs.

ANASHUYA.
