Embedded in a sea of flowers A gentle lustre, white and pure, Illuminates the darkness bearing Down upon this land of yore.
O Moon, repel the evil eye That haunts our dreams and waking hours Bereave the darkness of its powers And bare to us the cloud-veiled sky.
O Maiden fair with crimson hair, Thine gentle eyes upon us lay, Behind the lace, perceive our plight And guide us soundly into the light.
For in the shadows, ever closer, The enemy is closing in, lurking, waiting, Ever closer, and soon – too soon – it will begin.
And thus, we beg you, Lunar Maiden, Bestow upon us weary souls Your light, lest enmity devours This gentle lustre, white and pure, Embedded in a sea of flowers.
This poem is inspired by the figure of Columbina, a character from a video game called „Genshin Impact“, and the Frostmoon Enclave in the region of Nod-Krai.
