Sweet little red feet

Today I observed a dove at Keregodi Rangapura near Tiptur. The dove's feet were red. Until today I didn't know that the dove's feet are red. This incident reminded me John Keat's lines:

Sweet little red feet! Why would you die?

Blessed am I

The following lines are given as pre-reading activity for the lesson 'The Will of Sacrifice' (p. 112) prescribed for 9th standard:

Blessed am I that I am born to this land
I had the luck to love her.
What care I if queenly treasure is not in her store
But precious enough is for me
the living wealth of her love

These lines are an excerpt from a poem written by Rabindranath Tagore. For the full version of the poem click the link below:

This poem is rendered into Kannada by Kuvempu. The above lines in Kannada translation are as follows:
ಭಾರತಾಂಬೆಯೆ ಜನಿಸಿ ನಿನ್ನೊಳು ಧನ್ಯನಾದೆನು ದೇವಿಯೇ
ನಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರೇಮದಿ ಬೆಳೆದು ಜೀವವು ಮಾನ್ಯವಾದುದು ತಾಯಿಯೇ
ರಾಣಿಯಂದದಿ ಮೆರೆಯೆ ಸಿರಿತನವಿಹುದೊ ಏನೋ ಅರಿಯೆನು

The Dove

The poem 'The Dove' written by John Keats is prescribed for SSLC. The lines 3,4 and 5 are different from the original version. The lines in the textbook are as follows:

O, what could it grieve for? it was tied,
With a single thread of my own hand's weaving;
Sweet little red feet, why should you die?

But in the original version, these lines are as follows:

O what could it grieve for? Its feet were tied

With a silken thread of my own hand’s weaving:

Sweet little red feet! Why would you die?

The original version is:

He plants His footsteps in the sea
