Her slender body by George Rochberg Lyrics

Her slender body like a flash of lightning
Her feet, color of dawn, stepping swiftly
Among the other lotus petals
Friend, tell me who she is! She plays
Among her friends
Plays with my heart
When she raises her eyebrows I see
The arching waves of the river Kalindi
Her careless look lights on a leaf
And the whole forest flames into blue flowers
When she smiles
A delicate sweetness fills me, fragrance
Of lily and jasmine
