Is Virgo Venus redivivus
Beauty rising from her bed
Standing to receive at last
The serpent and the crown
How long will she lie asleep
Dreaming of that star's gleaming
Nesting in her growing womb
Is she frightened so alone
A quiet comely girl called to be
The sorrowful queen of joy
Did she pause before she rose
Conscious of the gods' decision
Swaying toward the balance
Feeling the sun bearing down
The moon carving its incision
