\nMother India<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n
\n1<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nMother India, when Thou rosest from the depths of oceans hoary,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nLove and joy burst forth unbounded, life acclaimed Thee in Thy glory;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nDarkness fled before Thy splendour, light its radiant flag unfurled.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAll acclaimed Thee, “Hail, O Mother! Fosterer, Saviour of the world!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\nEarth became thrice-blessed by the rose of beauty of Thy feet;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBlithe, she chanted: “Hail, World-Charmer! Hail, World-Mother! Thee I greet.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n2<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nDamp from ocean’s kiss Thy raiment, from its waves still drip Thy tresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nGreatness spans Thy brow, and flower-like lucent-pure Thy smiling face is.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSun and moon and stars go dancing through the vastness of Thy spaces,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWhile below mid ocean’s thunders foam of waves Thy feet embraces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nEarth became thrice-blessed with the rose of beauty of Thy feet;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBlithe, she chanted: “Hail, World-Charmer! Hail, World-Mother! Thee I greet.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n3<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nOn Thy brow the snow’s corona, round Thy knees leaps ocean’s spray;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nGanges, Indus, Brahmaputra, \u2014 pearl-strings for Thy bosom’s play!<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThere in desert places dire and bright and bare in heat Thou blazest,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThere mid garnered world-flung riches with Thy golden smile amazest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nEarth became thrice-blessed with the rose of beauty of Thy feet;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBlithe, she chanted: “Hail, World-Charmer! Hail, World-Mother! Thee I greet.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThrough the void Thy winds sweep clamouring mighty, tireless, huge of wing,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nOr Thy feet adored caressing low and long bird-murmurs sing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nRace of wild clouds thunder-hurling with their deluge-seas of rain,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nLaughter of Thy groves and woodlands drunk with fragrance, flowery-fain!<\/span><\/p>\n

\nEarth became thrice-blessed with the rose of beauty of Thy feet;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBlithe, she chanted: “Hail, World-Charmer! Hail, Earth-Mother! Thee I greet.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n5<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nPeace surrounds men from Thy bosom, Thy sweet voice love’s blessing throws;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBy Thy hand are fed earth’s millions, from Thy feet salvation flows.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nDeep Thy joy is in Thy children, deep Thy suffering’s tragic night,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nMother India, great World-Mother! O World-Saviour, World’s Delight!<\/span><\/p>\n

\nEarth became thrice-blessed by the rose of beauty of Thy feet;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBlithe, she chanted: “Hail, World-Charmer! Hail, Earth-Mother! Thee I greet.”<\/span><\/p>\n
