HYMN 10 The Waters

1

Yea, Waters, ye bring health and bliss: so help ye us to energy.
That we may look on great delight!

2

Give us a portion of the dew, the most auspicious that ye have,
Like mothers in their longing love!

3

For you we gladly go to hirn to whose abode ye speed us on,
And, Waters, give us procreant strength!
