ASPIRATIONS

1.

Thou art beauty's child and walkst

Within Her glowing robe of Light.

Ignorance unveiled, thou shalt find

Fulfilment at Thy Master's feet.

For all these roads our labour treads

Suffice to bring us near still

In silence to the golden door.

His eyes of stillness gather all

Into Her vast immense embrace.

2.

O speak to me so quietly of sounds

That come from other spheres and joyously

We shall lay down our lives at Mother's Feet.

Tell me, flowers, radiant and gleaming

In the sunlight of Her smile, of Peace

Descending softly through the realms of space

Into our mortal atmosphere, and breathe,

O mind and heart and will, Her crystal Fire,

His vastness and His calm Infinity.
