The Blessing of the New Year (Lady Day)

[recited upon arising]

Goddess, bless to me the new day,
Never vouchsafed to me before;
It is to celebrate thy blessings
Thou hast given me this time, Lady.

Bless thou to me mine eye,
May mine eye bless all it sees;
I will bless my neighbor,
May my neighbor bless me.

Goddess, grant me a light heart,
Keep me in the sight of thine eye;
Bless to me my work and my play,
Upon this return of the Ram’s day.
