Divine Nyx, Divine Erebus

in hellenismos •  4 years ago 

Divine are your names
Divine are your stations
Gracious Lord and Lady of the Night

Nyx of the jet black wings
Spread outward into space
Ever-flowing outward

Erebus of the pitch black eyes
Seeing all in the darkness
Ever housing your mysteries

Divine are your origins
Divine are your deeds
Gracious Protogonoi

Nyx who birthed death
But also gave us dreams
To keep us company

Erebus who fathered the Day
But also the light of the heavens
To light the way

Divine are your lives
Divine are your works
Gracious darkness of the night

Nyx who comes to us daily
Granting a time of rest
That we may recover from our toil

Erebus who surrounds our very world
Granting a new realm to explore
That we may grow

Divine are you, Nyx
Divine are you, Erebus
Gracious powers from the dawn of time

Art: The Night
Artist:Peter Nicolai Arbo, 1887, Nasjonalmuseet for kunst, arkitektur og design, Norway
