The full poetry is:
The mother 's heart, the hero 's will,
The sweetness of the southern breeze,
The sacred charm and strength that dwell
On Aryan altars, flaming, free;
All these be yours, and many more
No ancient soul could dream before --
Be thou to India 's future son
The mistress, servant, friend in one.
With the blessings of Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda
