By the force of the solar disk radiant overhead,
Let the Earth rise.
By the subtle balance of the equinox,
the kaleidoscopic interplay of the seasons,
the shimmering mist which hovers over the valley's open hills,
Let the Earth rise.
By the wolf's howling entreaty,
Let the Earth rise.
By the caw of the raven,
the twittering laughter of the songbird,
the tiny fawn hidden beneath the verdant undergrowth,
Let the Earth rise.
By the lion's eternal essence,
Let the Earth rise.
By the stealth of the fox,
the quickness of the hare,
the bull's thunderous challenge,
Let the Earth rise.
By the stars in the vaulted heavens,
Let the Earth rise.
By the swirl of the myriad ethers,
the rythmic tune throughout creation,
The Spirit's triumphant glory,
Let the Earth rise !
