1 This lady, giver of delight, after her sister shining forth, the dawn of heaven, hath shown herself.

2 Unfailing, mother of the kine, in colour like a bright red mare, the dawn became a friend of the Twin Helpers.

3 Yea, and thou art the Twin Helpers' friend, the mother of the kine art thou: O dawn, thou rulest over wealth.

4 Thinking of thee, O joyous one, as her who driveth hate away, we woke to meet thee with our lauds.

5 Our eyes behold thy blessed rays like troops of cattle loosed to feed. The dawn hath filled full the wide expanse.

6 When thou hast filled it, fulgent one! thou layest bare the gloom with light. After thy nature aid us, dawn.

7 Thou overspreadest heaven with rays, the dear wide region of mid-air, with thy bright shining lustre, dawn.
