 The Visitor   [Revised]
Marvelous beauty she charmed all the people,
Like a hind she walked by my side,
Silky cheek and auburn hair,
A mistress she was modest and coy.

A rainy night all crowded her house,
Buzzed someone, "she is no more".
Weeps and sobs uneasy all were,
Sprang out tears from everyone's eyes.

"Oh! Fate and misfortune taken her away,"
Wiped tears and consoled each other.
Gazing the beauty of motionless lady,
Stood I thinking of the Visitor's visit.

The visitor comes only once in a life;
Stalks behind us with wild cat's paws,
Strikes on time and grabs the breath;
Mercy not given to the victim's sake.

All the wealth that hoarded in life;
All the glory that achieved hither to;
All the strength that gained throughout,
May not save us from visitor's blow.

The dreams and hopes woven us here;
As the spiders making their webs,
The strength and beauty made us so proud,
Remain in vain when the visitor blows.

The engraved marbles will smile on the top;
Bottom the greedy worms will finish our flesh.
One thing is only definite since birth;
The Visitor will visit us once in our life!
