Lamentation of a fisherboy<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

He stands alone
\nOn the surf-beaten shore
\nIn rags, gazing…
\nHis ninah has set out to sea
\nIn the early hour of the dawn.
\nLaments he, no amma do I have!
\nEven before I wake to see the break of day,
\nHe’s gone…my ninah to the sea
\nOn his kattumaram
\nBattling the waves,
\nBraving the ruthless sea, he’s gone…
\nWhat will he return with this time,
\nHis net weighing down with the a harvest catch
\nOr will it be yet another day we’ll go hungry, his mind queries,
\nHe tosses a coin in the air,
\nA strong wind blows and screams aloud with joy,
\nAh! its heads
\nMy ninah sure will return with his net full
\nAnd we’ll make merry again!
\nHis hopes soar high…
\nAs he sights a Kattumaram tossing on the rough waves,
\nHe claps his hands with joy,
\nAh! my ninah is coming!
\nIn a flash his destiny changed;
\nCruel fate has struck again,
\nWhere is my ninah? rants he in a fury
\nHave the merciless waves swept him away?
\nThe other fishermen return
\nHide not the truth from me, he cries,
\nA deep gloom fogs his mind
\nAs the fishermen drop down their heads in sorrow,
\nHis heart sinks in despair
\nAs he stands there on the surf-beaten shore gazing…
\nGazing…at the empty sea!
