Oh, Maiden Moon, shine down on me
Fresh as spring rain , lush and wild and free
Come as the dawn in purity
Grace me with your heart
Simply opening
Oh, Mother Moon , shine down on me
In river-deep fullness carry me
Fertile caress, coax me to the dream
Pull me to your breast,
Enfolding me
Grandmother Moon , shine down on me
In silver strands curling 'round the seas
With your sweet breath , whisper tales to me
Winter stillness now,
Bring me your peace
Oh, faithful moon, shine down on me
