Poem:
Oh I would sing of you, great God Hermes,
The Son of Zeus, the son of Mia.
I would sing of you, great God Hermes,
Escort of Persephone and father of Eleusis.
I would sing of you, great God Hermes,
Messenger, herald, emissary of the Gods.
I would sing of you, great God Hermes,
Thief, liar, and creator of lyres.
I would sing of you, great God Hermes,
Lover of gods and mortals, men and women, ruler of the rainbow.
I would sing of you, great God Hermes,
Swift-footed, never still, lover of heroes, and inventor of wonders.
I would sing of you, great god Hermes.
But how?
Oh thou God of song and tongue
God of creative genius and spoken truth.
How shall I sing of you unless you will give me the words?
How shall I sing of you unless you will give me the tune?
Come, then, Hermes. Father of Eleusis, father of Pan.
Be my father too, and teach me to sing of your glory.
Let my tongue be still until you fill it with speech.
