Aridu

Based On The Hymn To Ishtar From Acadia

Lord of sun and lady moon

Bright at night and bright at noon

See my offering, hear my call

Lord and lady guard us all.

Sky god an, earth goddess ki

All do honor unto thee

Spread your seed upon the ground

Bring forth life fecund and round

Holy queen of living things

She whose bloom the summer brings

Bless us lady give us cheer

As we wander through the year

Royal shepherd, mountain king

Lofty bull of whom we sing

Fill our bowls with waters sweet

Spread the seeds of corn and wheat

Bless our lips and bless our breast

Guide us gently to our rest

Bless our sheep and bless our corn

Ease our grief when we must mourn

Sing the song and join the rite

Praise the day and bless the night

Thank the gods for what they bear

Earth and water, fire and air.
