Mother Earth

Mother, I thank thee for thy life-giving waters

the nurturing fruit

and the cool winds of thy mountains

Mother Earth, who art dark with verdant forests

I bow to thee!

This song was written in Sanskrit by Bankimchandra Chatterjee. It is sung by children in schools. Although it was originally written about Mother India, it applies to Mother Earth too.
