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.
