 THE ADVENT


                                  
  The paths of Earth today are sanctified
              With the touch of the Mother's footfalls rapture-rife :
  Lo! the grey dust awakes rich, rainbow-dyed,
        And bloom the gardened carnivals of life !
              Under the aegis of thy feet
              We like flower-clusters fragrance-sweet
                    Aroused from age-long sleep, O Mother Divine,
                    Wake to Thy love and blossom in Thy sunshine.


  Long have we lived, lost, playing with the sod :
              Oblivious-we were nurslings of Thy Light. ..
  Mating with earth, absorbed into the clod :
        But now we quiver into flames gold-bright.
              From Thy own galaxy hast Thou
              Writ large Thy star-lore on our brow;
                    In a world-festival of lights now shi.ne
                    What Paradise-garlands of Thy fires divine !

 


 (Translated by Dilip Kumar Roy from the author's original in Bengali.)
