ORPHIC HYMN TO THE STARS

One of the most beautiful Orphic Hymns is the one dedicated to the Stars. 

English translation ( by THomas Taylor ) : 

With holy voice I call the Stars on high, pure sacred Lights and genii of the Sky. Celestial Stars ,the Progeny of Nyx, in whirling circles beaming far Your light, refulgent rays around the Heavens You throw, eternal fires, the Source of all below. With flames significant of Fate You shine, and aptly rule for men a path divine. In seven bright zones You run with wandering flames, and heaven and earth compose Your lucid frames; with course unwearied, pure and fiery bright, forever shining through the veil of Night. Hail, twinkling,joyful, ever-wakeful fires! Propitious shine on all my just desires; these sacred rites regard with conscious rays, and end our works devoted to your praise.
