One noon, when the sun shone bright,

Absorbed in deep thoughts I strolled.

The garden around me bloomed with flowers.

As I sank down on a bed of blossoms,

The scent of the flowers filled my mind,

Showering petals, leaves and hanging bows around,

The beauty of Nature spread over my face,

The music of beauty I heard in solitary solace.
