Leto, Latona,
Den mother dear
You hold a place
where none need to fear
Wolf mother gentle,
Wolf mother kind
You nurture your pups
Body, soul and mind
Your twins, They adore you
And so do we
Den mother caring
Wolf mother free.
Leto, Latona
Wolf form you wore
Searching for haven
From shore to shore
Heavy with children
Unable to bear
Until rocky Delos
Gave safe harbor there
Leto, Latona
Your children shine bright
The Silver Huntress
And the Gold Lord of Light
Yet in dark quiet
You hold sacred space
A place full of healing
Rest, growth and grace
