O goddess fair,
enthroned and seated high
Above my weary head
and earth-bound soul
To her ever tender
care, entrust I
My fears, regrets, and
secret heart be told.
Guard’ian of wisdom
generations past
As man with shaking
hands craft’d tools with fire
Covet thy lady pure,
whose beauty hast
Remained in cultures,
love of her inspir’d.
Unearthly sphere, o
sweet serenity
Where rests her head,
ribbons of gentle light
Shine from her locks
to bless humanity
With a reprieve from
everlasting night:
Mistress so ghostly,
luminous, and fair
Light well my arduous path, render it bare.
