Manaunaun's Birthing

Sleep into growth in my measureless waste;
Sleep into power in waters non est.
Grow where the unuttered word has its way,
Fill naught with thy power, give vacancy force,
Bring space in the void,
Put time in the deep,
Put shine in the light.
Come to thy birthing Manaunaun Mac Lir!
Come to thy birthing Manaunaun the Might!

by John Osborne Varian
