Earth Anthem
Anthem, (from the Latin - antiphona, sounding against,
responsive sound, singing opposite, alternate chant)
is a hymn of praise which is also responsive in nature.
Liturgically it is synonymous with antiphon.
However as a poetic genre it has taken a slightly different path.
It is a song of praise which often expresses patriotism or loyalty.
The elements often found in most anthems are:
stanzaic, written in any number of stanzas, each ending in a responsive refrain.
The frame of the stanza is at the discretion of the poet.
originally to be sung, therefore although no specific meter is designated,
it should carry a lyrical rhythm.
rhymed or unrhymed at the discretion of the poet.
Earth Anthem
When you rise with father sun
You show us the ray of Hope
Clutching that hope your children
we promise to grow and glow
Oh, our endearing Mother
We promise to gift you peace
Hail to thee oh Mother Earth
Praises to thee oh Mother Earth
Flora, fauna, land and seas
You look so ornate with all
Oh, beautiful Mother Earth
we shall treasure your beauty
We'll live in harmony with
Flora, fauna, land and seas
Hail to thee oh Mother Earth
Praises to thee oh Mother Earth
With your lovely aqua ring
You look pretty and unique
In your abode of cosmos
You stand out as a blue gem
A life-slogan'WE, Our Earth'
We your children shall follow
Hail to thee oh Mother Earth
Praises to thee oh Mother Earth
All people of all nations
We shall bridge brotherhood strong
Peace is yours oh our Mother
We promise to live in peace
Oh Mother, you're our Goddess
E'er to you the song of peace
Hail to thee oh Mother Earth
Praises to thee oh Mother Earth
We shall sing the song of peace
All the hearts and hands joined
Our dear Earth, our dear Mother
We shall sing the song of peace
Hail to thee oh Mother Earth
Praises to thee oh Mother Earth
Peace to thee oh Mother Earth
Hail to thee oh Mother Peace
Peace to thee oh Mother Earth
Praises to thee oh Mother Earth
Hail to thee oh Mother Earth
Hail to thee oh Mother Peace
Hail to thee oh Mother Earth Praises to thee oh Mother Earth All people of all nations We shall bridge brotherhood strong.......beautiful poem penned on the sense of universal solidarity
Oh, our endearing Mother We promise to gift you peace Hail to thee oh Mother Earth Praises to thee oh Mother Earth....... impressive inscription about our promise and hope to Mother Earth. Such a marvelous anthem of Mother Earth is well executed. Thanks for sharing.
Each and every couplet speaks about the generosity with which mother earth serves us. Instead of we being kind and gentle we are all out to alter and destroy the nature. Your anthem should work as reminder to mankind at large to protect, preserve and establish peace on earth. A thoughtful poem.10++ and beyond
Nice poem. Gives us hope despite our problems. Any chance Trump can get this? I joke.
It's such a sweet anthem of Mother Earth that its melody and fragrance starts spreading all around. We only wish the spirit of this anthem transcends all man-made barriers. Thanks. Oh, our endearing Mother We promise to gift you peace
