I adore You, Who brooks no path but Her own
I adore You, Who, in the face of our technology, shows our vulnerability
I adore You, Who, in the face of despair, shows us kindness
I adore You, Who is drought and doom, fecundity and flowering
I adore You, Who, if we listen, can lead us to Harmony with You
I adore You, Who, if we observe, can show us a new life
I adore You, Who, if we act, gives us the chance to make our lot, and that of our neighbors, better
I adore You, Who is my home
I adore You, Who is my Mother
I adore You, Who is the Mother of Midgard

I adore You, Midgard Herself
From barren waste to blooming garden,
From old-growth forest to icy tundra,
I adore You, Jörð
