All sadness and all sorrow now attend The loss of one we knew as wife and friend, A stalwart soul to bear such pain as this She left and with a last eternal kiss Into the distant reaches soared alone On wings of light to front the vast unknown. We spoke of beauty waiting to be born And laughing gathered in the fragrant morn Flowers joyous from the soil of earth, In Auroville the new world's symbol birth. Close as birds upon a scented bough We lived a poetry divine, the One to know, In homage to the voice that softly called And in our hearts her radiance installed. Friends do not let the sacred vision die, Earth in upheaval yields her passioned cry And counsels us to find the secret cave Where dwells the light the Eternal Spirit gave To man, and now again his Voice is heard Chanting OM, the first and final word. Let then this soul once ardent for each dawn Depart into the waiting arms of morn, This human chapter brought now to its close Whose beauty was more perfect than the rose.
