Mother, I bow to
\n\tthee! <\/span><\/p>\n

Rich with thy
\n\thurrying streams, <\/span><\/p>\n

Bright with thy
\n\torchard gleams, <\/span><\/p>\n

Cool with thy
\n\twinds of delight, <\/span><\/p>\n

Dark fields
\n\twaving. Mother of might, <\/span><\/p>\n

Mother free.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Glory of
\n\tmoonlight dreams<\/span><\/p>\n

Over thy
\n\tbranches and lordly streams, \u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

Clad in thy
\n\tblossoming trees,<\/span><\/p>\n

Mother, giver of
\n\tease,<\/span><\/p>\n

Laughing low and
\n\tsweet!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mother, I kiss
\n\tthy feet,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaker sweet and low!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mother, to thee
\n\tI bow.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Who hath said
\n\tthou art weak in thy lands,<\/span><\/p>\n

When the swords
\n\tflash out in seventy million hands<\/span><\/p>\n

And seventy
\n\tmillion voices roar<\/span><\/p>\n

Thy dreadful
\n\tname from shore to shore ?<\/span><\/p>\n

With many
\n\tstrengths who art mighty and stored,<\/span><\/p>\n

To thee I call,
\n\tMother and Lord!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Thou who
\n\tsavest<\/span>, arise and save! <\/span><\/p>\n

To her I cry who
\n\tever her foemen drave<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Back from plain
\n\tand sea <\/span><\/p>\n

And shook
\n\therself free.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Thou art wisdom,
\n\tthou art law, <\/span><\/p>\n

Thou our heart,
\n\tour soul, our breath, <\/span><\/p>\n

Thou the love
\n\tdivine, the awe <\/span><\/p>\n

In our hearts
\n\tthat conquers death. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\tThine<\/span><\/span>
\n\tthe strength that nerves the arm, <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\tThine<\/span><\/span>
\n\tthe beauty, thine<\/span> the charm. <\/span><\/p>\n

Every image made
\n\tdivine <\/span><\/p>\n

In our temples
\n\tis but thine.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Thou art Durga,
\n\tLady and Queen,<\/span><\/p>\n

With her hands
\n\tthat strike and her swords of sheen, <\/span><\/p>\n

Thou art Lakshmi
\n\tlotus-throned, <\/span><\/p>\n

And the Muse a
\n\thundred-toned. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pure and perfect
\n\twithout peer, <\/span><\/p>\n

Mother, lend
\n\tthine ear. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rich with thy
\n\thurrying streams, <\/span><\/p>\n

Bright with thy
\n\torchard gleams, <\/span><\/p>\n

Dark of hue, 0
\n\tcandid-fair <\/span><\/p>\n

In thy soul,
\n\twith jewelled hair <\/span><\/p>\n

And thy glorious
\n\tsmile divine, <\/span><\/p>\n

Loveliest of all
\n\tearthly lands, <\/span><\/p>\n

Showering wealth
\n\tfrom well-stored hands! <\/span><\/p>\n

Mother, mother
\n\tmine! <\/span><\/p>\n

Mother sweet, I
\n\tbow to thee <\/span><\/p>\n

Mother great and
\n\tfree! <\/span><\/p>\n
