From a Sikh Hymn.
“The beautiful blue of the Sky is the Guru of Man;And his Father the Water white;
And his Mother the broad-browed Earth, with her bountiful span;
And the sweet-bosomed Night
Is the black Nurse who lulls him to sleep, with the stars in her ears;
And the strong striding-Day
Is the Hamal, with glittering turban and putta, who bears
The children to play.”
