all
the stories of Krishna delight;
all the stories of Krishna
the child
with the pots of ghee,
and with Yasoda
looking in wonder at the universe in Krishna's mouth;
so too delight
the stories of Krishna as a young man
with the gopis
and of Krishna overpowering the demons
and of Krishna speaking to Arjuna,
of the Bhagavad Gita,
all the stories of Krishna are beautiful;
but just to say his name
Krishna, Krishna, Gopala Krishna;
Gopala, Gopala, Govinda Krishna
just to say his name
is just as delightful, just as beautiful
O just to say his name
