TO MY CHILDREN

    Jaya Surya, aetat

    Golden sun of victory, born In my life's unclouded morn, In my lambent sky of love, May your growing glory prove Sacred to your consecration1, To my heart and to my nation. Sun of victory, may you be Sun of song and liberty.

    Padmaja, aetat

    Lotus-maiden, you who claim All the sweetness of your name, Lakshmi, fortune's queen, defend you, Lotus-born like you, and send you Balmy moons of love to bless you, Gentle joy-winds to caress2 you. Lotus-maiden, may you be Fragrant3 of all ecstasy4.

    Ranadheera, aetat

    Little lord of battle, hail In your newly-tempered mail！ Learn to conquer, learn to fight In the foremost flanks of right, Like Valmiki's heroes bold, Rubies5 girt in epic6 gold. Lord of battle, may you be, Lord of love and chivalry7.

    Lilamani, aetat

    Limpid8 jewel of delight Severed9 from the tender night Of your sheltering mother-mine, Leap and sparkle, dance and shine, Blithely10 and securely set In love's magic coronet. Living jewel, may you be Laughter-bound and sorrow-free.
