Ankle length soft green
Paddy fields , gentle sheen
Laden boughs , grass and vine
Bathed , in a luxuriant shine
Afar, some fields , are orange
Sudden dots of colour , splurge
No death, no brown , no age
Verdant life's youthful visage
Ponds are covered with sheets of round
Green has made them too , earthbound
The blue sky , dark earth the clear pond
All seem to be somehow spellbound
Bewitched by the blade , the moss
The frond , the swaying green gloss
The dominant colour of the slosh
It is the emerald , glen and vale posh
A flock of egrets take flight
Against the green , dots of white
It is truly a heartstopping sight
Open your eyes , shut tight
See the paradise comes to you
Outside a rattling train window
It is Bengal, it is monsoon now
Dazzling pretty , nature's brow .
