Krishna Learning To Walk

July 6, 2023Krishna In The Cradle
Yasoda lulling Hari to sleep,
Shaking the cradle, cuddling and fondling,
Singing to Him a song.
My darling is sleepy
Why doesn’t sleep come along?
Come sleep, come quickly
Kanha for you does long.
Sometimes He closes His eyes
Sometimes His lips are aflutter.
Thinking He has fallen asleep
Yasoda stops her singing.
Awake still, He’s up suddenly
Enjoying Yasoda’s song.
Such joy as Yasoda feels
Is unattainable to the gods.
