Once long ago when the world and I were young All things I saw were mine, I owned myself And all around me was at my command, The sea, the sky were marvels I could hold And life so very easy to understand. Now in a body slowly growing old I smile upon the little human elf Whose world is unexplained, his songs unsung.
Love came and dwelt a ruby in my heart. I met the One above all space and time, Creatrix of the heavenly galaxies Who came to earth and put on human dress To wake the spirit in man that it might seize Eternal truth and towards the Light progress And from the animal to Godhead climb And never again from joy and beauty part.
Her body lies beneath the Service tree, Her consciousness at work in every soul Her beauty in me like a fire burns That I may grow to image only Her And quietly the inner being yearns No longer in the dark of mind to err, To give that I may reach the promised goal, All I am or ever yet shall be.
