O Leader of the way
Smooth your face
Fair your form
Graceful your motion
Like a white-headed gull
On the gently swelling ocean wave.
*
I lift up my hands
And raise my eyes.
I bend my knee
And bow my head.
*
O Guiding Jewel of the night.
O Beauty of the heavens.
O Majesty of the stars.
*
Many a one has passed beyond
Over the black-river of the abyss
In the space between your two horns
But if you find me well tonight
May you leave me seven times better
And without harm.
*
May your face come through thick clouds.
May your course smooth my path.
May your light to me be fair.
*
O Bright Virgin
Of the silver-misted hair.
How truly beautiful and touching this wonderful and magical writing. It was clearly written at a time when it reached out to touch and bring us all peacefulness in this world.
