Hail to thee day! Hail, ye day's sons!
Hail, night and daughter of night!
With blithe eyes look on both of us:
send to those sitting here speed!
Hail to you, Gods! Hail, Goddesses!
Hail, earth that givest to all!
Goodly spells and speech bespeak we from you,
and healing hands, in this life.
Hail, night and daughter of night!
With blithe eyes look on both of us:

Hail to you, Gods! Hail, Goddesses!
Hail, earth that givest to all!
Goodly spells and speech bespeak we from you,
and healing hands, in this life.
