THE ADVENT

Sounds the music of advent, (as) the Mother comes home.
For Her sake the earth decks herself with marvellous  gaiety ....
                  in the perfumed air
                  the twitter of birds on the bough.
In the blue sky the white clouds come and go.
At Mother Uma's coronal all nature is busy.

To the children's eager call the Mother comes home,
Bringing with Her the voice of assurance,
                lighting flames of hope,
                announcing the message of Victory .
To lead us in life's battle She comes
The world shall smile because of Her boon.
