O my lovely dark-haired beauty <br />If you continue to love me still, <br />What gift can I give you, <br />I have no treasures to bequeath or will? <br /> <br />I love your doe-eyed glance, <br />From those timid, dark drawn lashes, <br />When daily morning those lovely flowers <br />For me you always bring, <br />And walk down the garden path, <br />Floating on a butterfly’s wing ! <br /> <br />What gift should I give you my love <br />Except for the treasures within? <br />I offer you my poet’s heart, <br />And a poet’s love all true ; <br />These sacred riches have been kept, <br />All saved up just for you! <br /> <br /> <br />(New Delhi/27 June 07)<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poet-s-gift/
