by Kalidasa (flourished 5th century)
Translation by (Karl August) Alfred, Freiherr von Wolzogen (1823 - 1883)
Nach dir, o Biene, schauet
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Sanskrit (संस्कृतम्)
Nach dir, o Biene, schauet Die Amra sehnend aus; In ihrem Kelche thauet Honig zu süßem Schmaus. Doch ach! sie ist vergessen, Die vormals dich berauscht; Waldblume hat indessen Mit ihr den Platz getauscht.
