Verses for the prayers of Hasanyah the Queen, to be sung at the Midnight Song: VIII. For Ferial Days of the Month of Mjath

Three verses.

In the sky the Bow is rising

To the place of ancient rule

In the Lotus of the Heavens

Where the will of Nankeinela

First was seen by mortals dwelling

In the wide lands Under Starlight.

In the wide lands Under Starlight

Now the Bow is swiftly drawing.

Let the arrow, swiftly speeding,

Reach the mark which time appoints it.

I will wait beneath the heavens,

I will keep my Midnight Vigil.

As I keep my Midnight Vigil

I will sing the words Hasanyah—

Dearest Queen, beloved of Children—

Penned when Ranhor, mighty scion,

Built his gates of shining iron,

Made them proof against all magic.
