Crescent Moon by Leanne Daharja Veitch — Lyrics
From the earth,
Bend your light
Through the skies
Through the darkness
Through the emptiness.
Warm the earth with your crystal fire!
Touch our eyes with your light!
Bend Your light to touch our eyes.
Let Your shafts flow cross the skies.
Purest white, Your arms embrace
cascading starlight.
Purest white, Your arms embrace
cascading moonlight.
Selene!

About Crescent Moon
Leanne Daharja Veitch’s Crescent Moon is a striking SATB setting of evocative English lyrics. Drawing from both sacred and pagan traditions, the text contemplates the moon’s light and its connection to the earth, darkness, and emptiness. The music is designed to warm the earth with celestial fire, touch eyes with light, and embrace listeners with cascading starlight and moonlight. The piece directly addresses Selene, invoking the divine feminine through the archetypes of Maid, Mother, and Crone, uniting the colours white, red, and black. This setting offers a profound exploration of nature’s cycles and the sacred feminine.
