English poem
To The Gods Of The Country
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.
