Who Is Happy?

by Tamojit Das aged 14

No wind in the leaves
No sun ‘bove the earth
No snow falling in sheaves
No joy no mirth

But blissful is the heart of a man
Who lives a life bestowed with ease
Who doesn’t dream to cross the seven seas
Who hasn’t got a home but the muddy street
Who hasn’t got a soul to bless; neither a person to greet
Who hasn’t got any fear; nor any pain
Wind doesn’t matter to him; nor does the rain.
And all that he has is himself
And he just loves loving it
He grows old and he dies
But the world doesn’t remember him a bit.
