Chant the Odes of Honour

I cannot sing the verses of the sea

Nor have I learned the stanzas to the sun,

But God through flowers smiling speaks to me

Of the destiny of earth that must be won,

Of the labours of the spirit scarce begun

Ere light shall dawn and consciousness awake

And man the boundaries of his fate outrun

And the gods that soar above him overtake.

We shall chant the odes of honour to the One

Who secretly within our souls resides

Who shall not cease His work till all is done

For which he built the worlds where Kalki rides

Carrying the superhuman Seer

To cleanse the earth and bear the Godhead near.
