A Prayer IF thou must give something Give me the undying lamp, the lamp of thy Love: And silently shalll bow down and quietly depart. Give to my beggar heart the touch of thy Light, May it bloom like a morning flower on my bosom! O Mother, thy seat bounded by the moon and the stars is spread in the vast stilled
spaces! And yet afar from there, oh, touch the earth's heart and pour down thy Grace! Let my soul, drowned here in loud noises, listen to the music, The music of silence filling my whole being: May the world with eyes wide open see Peace
come down unending: O pour out the delight that
shall enliven my journey, The light of thy Grace shining like the pole star in the sky: In darkness, unmoving, alone, uncompanioned May it flare like a torch and illumine the path carrying the
infinite Love. I ask for nothing - only this that thy Love bring down upon the worn out bosom of this earth the endless flow of Immortality. That I ask for, grant it, O Mother!
