AN ANTHEM OF LOVE, by             Poem Explanation         Poet's Biography
First Line: Two hands are we to serve thee, o our mother
Last Line: Towards a great, divinely-destined goal.
Subject(s): Love; Worship


TWO hands are we to serve thee, O our Mother,
To strive and succour, cherish and unite;
Two feet are we to cleave the waning darkness,
And gain the pathways of the dawning light.

Two ears are we to catch the nearing echo,
The sounding cheer of Time's prophetic horn;
Two eyes are we to reap the crescent glory,
The radiant promise of renascent morn.

One heart are we to love thee, O our Mother,
One undivided, indivisible soul,
Bound by one hope, one purpose, one devotion
Towards a great, divinely-destined goal.
