I call to thee, O’ sweet Mnemosyne<\/p>\n

Gaia’s fountainhead; spring of memory,<\/p>\n

Pull forth from thine father of the heavens<\/p>\n

Thy legacy of Devine expressions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Call into being, O’ mine Oracle,<\/p>\n

All thoughts visceral and primordial<\/p>\n

Lest they escape into oblivion<\/p>\n

To sup waters of Lethe’s dominion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bring out the host, O’ Devine Memory,<\/p>\n

As I genuflect humbly before thee<\/p>\n

And quaff the elixir of passing time<\/p>\n

To hold its hand in remembrance of mine.<\/p>\n
