Luminous Artemis, daughter of Leto,
unsurpassed goddess, guardian of children.
In all wild things--wild lands, wild beasts--
in clear-eyed precision, in flawless aim,
in freedom and motion, in athlete's grace,
in all these we know you, radiant one.
Shining Artemis, huntress unequaled,
beloved companion of nymphs and maidens,
swift-footed wanderer in wood and field,
we thank you for skill and agility,
for heart-pounding effort, for love of the chase.
Fair Artemis, we praise and honor you.
