Plain text of Book 6, Hymn 23
Here flow the restless ones, they flow unceasing through the day and night. Most excellently wise I call the waters hitherward, God's sign.
2 Let the deft waters, summoned, give permission that we bear them off, and quickly set us on our way.
3 Let all the people celebrate the praise of God the Light-giver. Sweet unto us be waters, plants propitious!
