The Ode of Gaia

 

 

Chorus:My lady, my deity, the object of my praise 


Raise thy head, as thee looks upon us fondly


Take heed of our crops, which sustain our homes


Pomegranates and pears which give endurance


We beg, we plead, give your good graces to our land


My lady, my deity, your tenderness is our plea

 


Gaia:For whom do I wake for, as thou has gained grasp on a tranquil sleep


Chorus:Our woman, our divinity, pardon these mortal inquiries 


Gaia:The bliss of dormancy was always a feeble one, what troubles thee?


Chorus:A proud and plentiful harvest is what we ask of thee. Our land to sleep emerald and jade


Gaia:My children, my adorers, your tributes have elated me. With the rise of my hand I shall grace thy humble hills


Chorus:Bless our queen, our gracious queen, long will our providence be of abundance
