No chance event

(2743)  Sagar belay ami

I, upon the sea-shore,
When I had been sitting,
Rows of waves had come near
With a life's festivity.

On far sky how many stars had grinned;
In speech had risen the south wind?
"Friend or foe, forgetting the notion,
Everybody I'd held dear."

I don't forget the words of that night;
On mind's mirror have they stayed entwined.
In sorrow's gloom and in hours of glee
Rises that memory silently.
