            THE MOTHER-LOTUS


Divinely pure is and white
      And wide in my heart
The Mother-lotus of light,
      And she lives there apart
            Opening and blooming all the time
            In a spotless silver-petalled chime,
            In a perfume of peace sublime
                  Secret and sweet.
            And my spring of aspiring will
                  Is a crystal at her feet.


A huge and spacious flower,
      The world she bears ;
Her stem is Time's tall tower
      Of illumined spheres;
            She changes my transient mortal desire
In the diamond-core of her bosom-fire
              To a vast eternal spire
                  Of eveless sunshine ;
            At the source of her honey moonrise
                  I make my thoughts divine.


Angels desire the deep
      Nectar in me
I drink in my vigilant sleep-
      My wine of thee;
            A sky-touch, a heavenly kiss,
            A thrilled keen edge of unending bliss,
                A scented flower-winged breeze,
                  A sweet fire-dart,
            O white Mother-lotus,
                  Is thy presence in my heart.
