Palanquin Bearers Lightly, O lightly we bear her along, She sways like a flower in the wind of our song; She skims like a bird on the foam of a stream, She floats like a laugh from the lips of a dream. Gaily, O gaily we glide and we sing, We bear her along like a pearl on a string. Softly, O softly we bear her along, She hangs like a star in the dew of our song; She springs like a beam on the brow of the tide, She falls like a tear from the eyes of a bride. Lightly, O lightly we glide and we sing, We bear her along like a pearl on a string. by Sarojini Naidu #Teej #Palanquin #PalanquinBearers #Heritage #Historic #Honour #Gods #GodsOfIndia #Poems #Nostalgia #School #SarojiniNaidu #Beaut #Beautiful #Festivals #FestivalsOfIndia #JaipurTeej #WalledCityOfJaipur #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at City Palace, Jaipur)
