\n(THE NEW DAWN)<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nThe rays of the sun clothe the blue heaven with beauty;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nthe dark masses of the Night are driven far.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThere breaks from the lyre of the dawn a song of light and felicity,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nand the soul in its groves responds with quivering hope.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nOne whose hem trails over the dancing crests of the waters,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nand touches them to ripples of musical laughter,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nComes chanted by the orient in hymns of worship,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nand twilight on its glimmering tambour beats dance-time to the note-play of the rays.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nShe whose absence kept Night starved and afraid in its shadows,<\/span><\/p>\n

\na vibrant murmur now are her steps on the horizon:<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAs in a saddle of sunrise the heart of tameless aspiration<\/span><\/p>\n

\nrides to its meeting with this Queen of Light.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nOne who descends in her golden chariot to the garden ways of earth to create her many rhythms of life,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nher every voice now hails in a long cry of welcome:<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe flowers toss on the swings of delight;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nthe goal beacons, the pathless riddle is dispelled for ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nLoud sings the shining Charioteer, “Look up, O wayfarer; vanquished is the gloom of ages:<\/span><\/p>\n

\nthe high tops are agleam with sheen of the jewelry of sunlight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe impediments are shattered, the bonds are broken;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nDay’s trumpets of victory blare the defeat of Darkness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nRavine and lightless desert<\/span><\/p>\n

\nare fertile with rain of light, O Pilgrim;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nEarth’s dust and gravel are transmuted into the glory of the lotus.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nFor the Dawn-Goddess has come, her hand of boon carrying fulfilment.”<\/span><\/p>\n
