    "Leave Krete and come to this holy temple
    where the graceful grove of apple trees
    circles an altar smoking with frankincense.

    Here roses leave shadows on the ground
    and cold springs bubble through apple branches
    where shuddering leaves pour down profound sleep.

    In our meadow where horses graze
    and wild flowers of spring blossom,
    anise shoots fill the air with aroma.

    And here, Queen Aphrodite, pour
    heavenly nectar into gold cups
    and fill them gracefully with sudden joy."
