Mens Voices: <br /> <br />LORD of the lotus, lord of the harvest, <br />Bright and munificent lord of the morn! <br />Thine is the bounty that prospered our sowing, <br />Thine is the bounty that nurtured our corn. <br />We bring thee our songs and our garlands for tribute, <br />The gold of our fields and the gold of our fruit; <br />O giver of mellowing radiance, we hail thee, <br />We praise thee, O Surya, with cymbal and flute. <br /> <br />Lord of the rainbow, lord of the harvest, <br />Great and beneficent lord of the main! <br />Thine is the mercy that cherished our furrows, <br /> <br />Thine is the mercy that fostered our grain. <br />We bring thee our thanks and our garlands for tribute, <br />The wealth of our valleys, new-garnered and ripe; <br />O sender of rain and the dewfall, we hail thee, <br />We praise thee, Varuna, with cymbal and pipe. <br /> <br /> <br />Womens Voices: <br /> <br />Queen of the gourd-flower, queen of the har- vest, <br />Sweet and omnipotent mother, O Earth! <br />Thine is the plentiful bosom that feeds us, <br />Thine is the womb where our riches have birth. <br />We bring thee our love and our garlands for tribute, <br />With gifts of thy opulent giving we come; <br />O source of our manifold gladness, we hail thee, <br />We praise thee, O Prithvi, with cymbal and drum. <br /> <br /> <br />All Voices: <br /> <br />Lord of the Universe, Lord of our being, <br />Father eternal, ineffable Om! <br />Thou art the Seed and the Scythe of our harvests, <br />Thou art our Hands and our Heart and our Home. <br />We bring thee our lives and our labours for tribute, <br />Grant us thy succour, thy counsel, thy care. <br />O Life of all life and all blessing, we hail thee, <br />We praise thee, O Bramha, with cymbal and prayer<br /><br />Sarojini Naidu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/harvest-hymn/
