Roll through the caverns
of matter, the
world's irremovable
bounds!
Roll, ye wild billows
of ether! the Sistron
is shaken and sounds!
Wild and sonorous the clamour, vast in the region of death,
Live with the fire of the Spirit, the essence and flame of the breath!
Sound, O sound!
Gleam in the world of the dark, where the chained ones shall tremble
and flee!
Gleam in the skies of the dusk, for the Light of the Dawn is in me!
Light on the forehead, and life in the nostrils, and love in the breast,
Shine, O thou Star of the Dawning, thou Sun of the Radiant Crest!
Shine, O shine!
Flame through the sky in the strength of the chariot-wheels of the
Sun!
Flame, ye young fingers of light, on the West of the morning that run!
Flame, O thou Meteor Car, for my fire is exalted in
thee!
Lighten the darkness and herald the daylight, and waken the sea!
Flame, O flame!
Crown Her, O crown Her with stars as with flowers for a virginal
gaud!
Crown Her, O crown her with Light and the flame of the down-rushing Sword!
Crown Her, O crown Her with Love for maiden and mother and
wife!
Hail unto Isis! Hail! For She is the Lady of Life!
Isis crowned!
