India to France
My sister sweet, your eyes are dim,Too narrow and brief their view.
The Mother for all, all souls will thrive
Under her ruby-Blessing dew.
With Spirit's flame surcharged is my soil;
Therefore her Feet of Light
On my breast shall rest; with scarce a toil
To free the earth from Ignorance' blight.
Her Birth you cherish and I her Play.
She is our deathless Hope.
She is Mother of eternal Day.
No more in gloom we shall grope.
Sri Chinmoy, The Mother of the Golden All, Agni Press, 1974
