POEM FROM TAMIL LITERATURE - LOVELY LASS OF THE FISHERFOLK (47)

ABOUT THE POEM: This is a translated version of a bewitching poem, LOVELY LASS OF THE FISHERFOLK. It is about what the lover said to himself about his change of temperament after meeting the gazelle-eyed little lass of the fisherfolk with an elegant waist and sweeping hips. He elaborates that it was a pleasure to stay in the fishing village and every sight, scene and scent he experienced in the village gave him pleasure before meeting her. LOVELY LASS OF THE FISHERFOLK To remain in the fishing town alongside the waters was ecstatic where they spread to dry under the shrub trees shrimps trapped in the estuary, with their fragments look like delicate youthful turmeric. of late have become miserable once I  looked into the gazelle eyes of the lovely  lass of the fisherfolk, with elegant waist  and sweeping hips.
