A BOWHUNTER'S PRAYER TO DIANA

Oh Silvery Huntress of the Night!

Diana of the pale moonlight!

Oh Goddess of the Silver Bow

Smile on your humble child, below

Come now to me and be my guest,

And aid me in this hunt...my quest!

In this endeavor, grant success

Grant me patience - grant kindness

Watch over me and guide my steps -

As I walk into the forest's depths.

Protect me from all injury

And close beside me, always be.

Aid me as I track the deer

Through brush and thickets, far and near

When it comes time to draw my bow

Grant me accuracy, here below

Guide my arrows with speed and skill

Grant painless death and swiftest kill

Silvery Huntress, I am your child...

I hunt your forests, free and wild.

Bless this hunt, I ask of thee

Oh Great Diana, hear my plea

Goddess of Wild Ones and the Night!

Bless my table with food tonight!

Kalioppe
