O Ganga, Teach Me Step by Step!

by Mukesh Williams



Even on mountainous nights You gallop as a fierce maiden Shooting arrows at the Single wheel of the moon. Touching the lovely charms Of hills and forests You become the Lovely enchantress yourself. Wide-eyed, slender waist, You race early in life through hills, Then swell with matronly concern In the Doab plains. In the Sunderbans You spread out into a delta Lose your limpidity and Merge with the great ocean. You teach me to be a warrior, You teach me to be delightful, You teach me to be kindhearted, You teach me to be self-effacing.
