<p id="id00321" style="margin-top: 2em">Dear little Hut by the rice-fields circled,<br/>
That cocoa-nuts shade above.<br/>
I hear the voices of children singing,<br/>
And that means love.<br/></p>
<p id="id00322">When shall the traveller's march be over,<br/>
When shall his wandering cease?<br/>
This little homestead is bare and simple,<br/>
And that means peace.<br/></p>
<p id="id00323">Nay! to the road I am not unfaithful;<br/>
In tents let my dwelling be!<br/>
I am not longing for Peace or Passion<br/>
From any one else but thee,<br/>
My Krishna,<br/>
Any one else but thee!<br/></p>
