On Apollo’s Chariot
Tied by golden lariat
To equestrian beasts
Hephaestian feat
By Vulcan forge was formed
Golden orb of Helios
Fire burning furious
Cross celestial ledge
Horizon edge
The Earth is slowly warmed
Stars and Nyx abscond away
Aurora is fond to stay
Luminous advance
The heavens dance
The nymphs awake in kind
Bathed in bless’d beatitude
Life returns its gratitude
Turn Euros’ way
I greet the ray
Which on my face too shined
