Red are the kine and luminous that bear her, the blessèd one who spreadeth through the distance.
The foes she chaseth like a valiant archer, like a swift warrior she repelleth darkness.
Thy ways are easy on the hills: thou passest in windless calm, self-luminous! through waters.
So lofty goddess with thine ample pathway, daughter of Heaven, bring wealth to give us courage.
Dawn, bring me wealth: untroubled, with thine oxen thou bearest riches at thy will and pleasure;
Thou who, a goddess, child of Heaven, hast shown thee lovely through bounty when we called thee early.
As the birds fly forth from their resting-places, so men with store of food rise at thy dawning.
Yea, to the liberal mortal who remaineth at home, O goddess Dawn, much good thou bringest.
