Aubade II - O glorious Sol!

O glorious Sol!
I bid Thee welcome
As Thou wakens from Thy perennial slumb'ring.
Send forth now Thy legion spears of golden light!
Thou art deathless
And stand e'er supreme
In the empyreal pantheon of the all-spanning Welkin.

Greater art Thou than man who mindlessly treads the Earth.
Greater art Thou than the obscure ones crafted by fearful man.

I beseech Thee, O Sol!
Accede to let me bask in Thy fire,
So that I may know
What the nascent Earth first knew
When Time wast young
Yet Thou already presided strong.

Thou art my Mother, my Father;
Thou wert there when I came,
Thou shalt be there when I leave.

And when I am gone, Thou shalt remain.

So it hath been, so it is, so it shall be:
For All and Everything,
Anointed by the searing rays of Thy diurnal Kingdom.
