Beauty

Although the darkness of the evening conceals
                               your sweet form
(Lithe lightning dormant in the seams of the
                               purple storm cloud!)
O quailing beauty, you forget how your
                               fragrant wreath and
Clear-tinkling anklets as you merge with the
                               night you reveal.

From the Mrcchakatika, a Sanskrit drama. Translated by Steven Goodwin.
