[Every one might have heard the
sea shell's murmur. Every creation of nature feels the sound from it, in one or
the other way, for a small crab, when it went near to shell; it felt so…]
Oh! my! the sea washed me away!
My tiny foot prints that carved away
Later it took me somewhere very far
Staggered I to be freed from its bar.
Eh! What’s that soothing highly gay;
on the sunny sand dune which lay?
So
dull ! a shell ! a tiny sea shell
Me a tiny crab, I saw, it so clear and well.
Back
to shore's lap, wavelets made me way
Oh!
Roaring blue cup, take me back ney!
Ah!
You heard my deeply sobbing soul
The
waves didn't let me roll back.
"I
came" said crab, .still the shell lay
Still
dull, under the stinky sun’s ray
I
neared the shell slow, very slow
Heard
some tone, strange but low.
At its chest,
shun by waves I lay
Still I heard,
the shell strangely say
"In you I give my little lovely love
In your sharp
claws I enjoy delicacy now”
The
shell held the crab close to say,
"My
love token, I give, forget me ney,"
Then
the sand dunes made a secret shed
To
shell, when I gave him a stain in red.
Oh!
my sea waves washed me away
Ah!
then my claws now, searched a way
My
mind echoed that shell's refrain,
Even I knew, all was in awful vain.
'Strange
shell lay there still dull
My
red stain on it shining in full
It
was so strange! So strange for me,
That
murmur I felt so deeply in me. ..
IT WAS SO STRANGE
