Amidst lush green fields
And flowers waving in the breeze,
Blooming hedges and shimmering ponds,
Stands the lofty lotus looking heavenward.
A marvel of marble petals
with crimson tints of the morning sun,
Symbol of sanctity and devotion,
Purity, love and compassion
Noblest feelings of the human heart
Inspiring sculpture of exquisite art,
A sight divine and uplifting,
The *Baha’I House of Worship, a splendid home,
For prayer and meditation, a silent home,
Abode of perfect peace and harmony
That welcomes all without distinction
To feel the unseen presence of the SPIRIT SUPREME
And the ecstasy of communion.
