Garhwali folk song

Posted: 30 Oct 2002

The following poem was sent to us by Rajiv Rawat in Boston, Massachusetts. It is a Garhwali women's folk song from the state of Uttaranchal in the Indian Himalayas.



"From the dust of my body, may trees grow
Let people learn a lesson from trees
They give food to the hungry
Water to the thirsty
Shelter to the tired and homeless.
Let us learn to be selfless, grow more trees
And make the world a beautiful place.
"
