I’ll start the singing By invoking the Bright Goddess the beautifully tressed Selene Hyperion’s child Daughter of brightness I praise you infinitely, She of the Lovely Hair That streams behind you as you ride

Your four milky-white mares through the stream of the sky Divine patroness of becoming a full and complete nymph a recognised woman Divine ruler of Night Puller of the silver strings Of Poseidon’s mighty tides Magnet of all life Surveyor of Gaia’s fertility

Whose green grass Grows wild and free Under my maiden’s feet Goddess to whom I’m singing this song to whom I shall always be singing For though you are not of the Twelve there you ride nontheless I bid thee safe journey, Bright One!

Lost Homeric Hymn to Selene (I)
