1882.] R. C. Temple— Some Hindu Folksongs from the Punjab. 
This (tree) will not flower now. 
"VYbo will live ? who will die ? 
Who will do this again ? 
How shall I get them now ? 
Who will live again a whole year ? 
With what friend shall I laugh (and play) ? 
This (tree) will not flower now. 
Notes.

have been destroyed by goats and squirrels.
