To Selene
Beautiful, benevolent, clear source of light
In the heavens shining, torch of the night
Daughter of Hyperion The High Lord of Light
and wide-shining Theia Euryphaessa bright
Sister to Golden Helios who's fire lights the day
Reflecting His glory with gentler ray
Oh All-Shining Pasiphae, You sweep through the night sky
In Your winged horse-drawn chariot, riding high
Bringer of peace, blessed foe of strife
Aid us Blessed Goddess to a blameless life
With Your shining veil diffusing silver rays
Divine Aigle, Your radiance lights our ways
Bringing light to the darkness, illuminating, clear
Cleansing and purifying, banishing fear
Queen of the stars, Goddess sublime
Wandering through the night, Measurer of time
Oh All-Seeing Mene, Just Goddess, we praise
Shine on our rites with beneficent rays
