Sun and Moon, shine upon me;
Make glad my days and clear my nights!
O Earth, whose child I am,
Grant me thy patience!
O Heaven, whose heir I may be,
Keep quick my hope!
Your steadfastness I need, O Hills;
O Rain, thy kindness!
Snow, keep me pure;
O Fire, teach me thy pride!
From you, ye Winds, I ask your blitheness!
1909.
