1. Glorious Hera, fair one, noble one, beautiful goddess with eyes as deep and full as any well, As bright as distant stars, as clear as the cloudless sky, I praise you.
Peerless Hera, queen of high Olympos, chosen bride of thundering Zeus, Only you could match his might, his wit, his every step.
Dear Hera, guardian of marriage, of love between partners, of constancy, of faith and of faithfulness, Your blessings you give to those who hold together against the world;
who build together a family, a haven, a life; who grow together into a fond old age, ever ardent, ever devoted Shining Hera, sublime goddess, I honor you.
2. I praise you bright and noble Hera, great ladyof Olympus, gracious queen of the deathless gods, dark-eyed goddess, fairest of the children of Rhea, graceful and comely, cloaked in the starry skies, garlanded in poppies fragrant and blood-red, crowned in brightest gold, the lotus wand in your hand,
your form ever draped in the finest of silks, majestic one whose blessing is sought by all, whose gifts are treasured, whose favor is a surety of good fortune.
Hera, champion of great cities, guardian of ancient Argos and the pretty isle of Samos, warder of the bonds of marriage, protector of women in the old world and the new, unparalleled goddess, white-armed one, sovereign of the high-reaching heavens, I honor your might.
