HYMN XVII

A charm to ensure conception

1Even as this mighty Earth conceived the germ of all the things
   that be,
  So may the germ of life be laid in thee that thou mayst bear a
   son.
2Even as this mighty Earth hath borne and bears the stately
   forest trees,
  So may the germ of life be borne in thee that thou mayst bear a
   son.
3Even as this mighty Earth hath borne and bears the mountains
   and the hills,
  So may the germ of life be borne in thee that thou mayst bear
   a son. p. a207
4Even as this mighty Earth supports the moving world that
   dwells thereon,
  So may the germ of life be borne in thee that thou mayst bear a
   son.
