MY INDIA
I awoke this
Morning
With a great awe
In my heart
And on my lips
A glory song...
Of tall greens
And bubbling
Streams
Growing and flowing
With roots
Deep in rich soil
Wàtèrèd by
Guŕggling waves
Of rivers pouring
Into brooks and lakes...
About the hard
Working
Woman, man
And child
The song
Went on...
Oh how these
Live...
By the sweat
Of their brow
Along with stolen
Youth
They make ends
Meet!
The varied hues
From garments to
Ways of life
These form the
Bridge
To my rhyme
Song...
The brave human
Defenses
Together with intelligent
Man-made aids
And the brain weavers
Governing my land
Are the chorus
Of this here
Song...
From dawn
To dusk
I hum of
The greatness
That is my
India...!,
