Excerpt from New Lays of Ind: Personal Reminiscences of an Indian Civilian
And cholera's fell scourge one day Took faithful Ramli's life away. When this event had come to pass, Bapu was stunned, for who, alas I Would cook his food, who wash his coat, Or take to graze the cow and goat Like her, c/zupazttz's2 Who could pat, Turning them out so round and flat '9 Who dinner to the well would bring, And in the morning blithely sing, Grinding the corn while he might snooze, TO rise and smoke as he might choose 9 Who, as he bathed outside the door, Hot water down his back would pour, And with her gentle kindly hand TO rub him down would come and stand Alas l to grieve 'twas now too late He had her body to cremate. The cow-dung cakes that she had made Were used to speed the parting shade, TO bear her to the upper air, TO be absorbed in Indra3 there. The neighbour Kunbis swarmed around TO bear her to the burning ground.
