2. BEFORE WE BEGIN… Have you seen group of people wandering on the streets and singing?

3. Where the voice of the wind calls our wandering feet, Through echoing forest and echoing street, With lutes in our hands ever-singing we roam, All men are our kindred, the world is our home. Our lays are of cities whose lustre is shed, The laughter and beauty of women long dead; The sword of old battles, the crown of old kings, And happy and simple and sorrowful things. What hope shall we gather, what dreams shall we sow? Where the wind calls our wandering footsteps we go. No love bids us tarry, no joy bids us wait: The voice of the wind is the voice of our fate. WANDERING SINGERS -- Sarojini Naidu Lute - A musical instrument with strings on it. Kindred - Family members or relativs. Lays - Melodious songs. Lustre - a very special, attractive quality that people admire. Tarry - to stay somewhere longer than you should G L O S S A R Y
