Nr. 243

Calcutta nr. 243

There is no night that my lamentation does not reach the
And that my plaint does not reach the ocean in a torrent
You say that with you I shall drink wine on many a morrow
May be that for me the soul will not reach a tomorrow

Payne 1898 - 292
No night that my lament to Gemini attains not,
That my tears' torrent-course unto the sea attains not.
Sayst thou, "Til drink with thee, but not until to-morrow"?
To-morrow it may be that life for me attains not.

Thompson 1906 - 4
No night my cry doth not reach Gemini,
That my tears' current flows not to the sea;
''After to-morrow'' say'st ''I'll drink with thee?"
Life e'en that morrow may not reach for me!
