The full moon on a clouded night.
Prayer for the Full Moon
​
Hail to you, o pale moon,
Floating above the clouds.
Queen riding the sky road
Among meadows of stars.
Sun of the Ellyllon,
Night's brilliant candle burns
Your flame of white fire.
Your frosty mirror shines,
Silvering the waters.
I bow beneath the gleam
Of your lovely brightness
As I honor the moon,
My compass in the dark.
​
by Jenny Brown, inspired by/adapted from lines in "Nightfall" an englyn by Gwallter Mechain from "Welsh Verse" translated by Tony Conran, and lines in "A Moonlit Night" by Dafydd ap Gwilym from "Medieval Welsh Lyrics" translated by Joseph P. Clancy.
