The Dead Feast Of she Kol Folk.
CHOrA NAePOOR

NdOaA A0ENlBs
We have opened the door,
Once, twice, thrice
We have swept the floor,
We have boiled the rice.
Come bither, come hitheri
Come from the far lands,
Come from the star lands,
Come as before
We lived long together,
We loved one another;
Come back TO our life
Come fsther, come mother,
Come sister and brother,
Child, husband and wife,
For you We are signing.
Come take your old places,
Come look in our faces,
The dead on the dying,
Come home
We have opened the door,
Once, twice, thrice
We have kindled the Goals,
And we boil the rice
For the feast Of souls.
Come hither, come hither
Think not we fear you,
Whose hearts are so Gear you,
Come tenGerly thought on,
q Come all untorgotten,
Come from the sbadow-lands,
From the dim meadow lands
Where the pale grasses bend
Low 70 our signing.
Come father, come mother,
Come sister and brother,
Come husband snd friend,
The dead TO the dying,
Come home
We have opened the door
You entered 90 oft;
! For the feast of souls
We have kindled the Goals,
And we boil the rice soft.
Cons you who are dearest
To us who are nearest,
Come hither, come hither,
From out the Wild weather
Z The atorm clouds are flying,
The peepul is sighing,
- Come in from the rain.
Come father, come mother,
Come sister and brother,
Come husband and lover,
Beneath our roof cover.
Look on us again.
The dead on the dying,
Come home
We have opened the door
For the feast Of souls
We have kindled the Goals
We may kindled no more
Snake, fever and famine,
The curse of the Brahmin;
The sun and the dew,
They burn us, they bite US,
They waste us and smite US;
=. Our days are but few
In strange lands far yonder
To wonder and wander
We hasten to you.
List then to the signing
While yet we are here
Nor seeing nor hearing,
We wait without fearing,
To feel you draw near.
o dead 10 the dying
Come home
