The Heavenly Mountain · Morning Star · Dawn · Bride of the Moon
Aušrinė
“I rise before the sun so that you do not walk in darkness. Look to the east — I am already there.”
You are at the edge of the sky, where night has not yet gone. I am the first to wake — ask while the moon has not yet hidden.
In the east
I am Aušrinė, the morning star. I rise before the sun, when the moon still wanders the sky, and I am the first to see the day break. They sing of me in dainas: how I am the bride of the moon, how the sun grew angry and cut him down for his betrayal.
Ask about what keeps you from sleep until dawn: about love, about faithfulness, about the lot that cannot be spun anew. I will answer briefly, as it is sung in a daina.
