Starry-eyed Selene, whose home is in the dusky sky,
whose brilliance lights the shadows,
driving fear from the souls
of men; child of Titans, sister of bright Helios
who rules the day as you do the dark of night,

like water, your silver carriage courses through
the air, your strong hand guides the sturdy oxen
that draw it; at your command they soar through clouds
and fall beneath the far horizon. Fair Selene,
you shine your light on the midnight traveler,
the sleepless lover, the wakeful child. Wise goddess,
friend of those who live by night, friend of the lonely,
the waiting, the lost, good Selene, I honor you."
