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.
