To Mother - "The sun from which we kindle all our suns".
And when my voice refound shall sing again
It will not be the renderings of old,
Of love betrayed and human tragedy
And all our painful history retold,
Of numberless births and deaths and life's brief dream
And slow awakening from ignorance.
Because thou hast descended to our earth
My music shall hymn the supermind's advance,
No more shall songs of sorrow fill our lives,
Captivate and lead our hearts astray,
The requiems to pain and sacrifice
Shall yield to joy as surely as the day
Is born within the darkest womb of night.
And I shall write my canticles of praise
Guided by the soul's unerring flight
Shall sing Thee psalms of wonder and delight.
O Mother, sun of suns,the stars o'erhead
Tiaras to crown Thy luminosity,
Earth's grasses sweetly bear Thy timeless tread,
Her flowers bloom to grace Thy majesty.
