I am the Guardian of treasure,
Gate-keeper to another world -
Let all who would come near be clean from the inside out,
And all who would pollute depart.
Be warned – my rules are firm,
For I will not bend from rightness,
Nor sway to your winds:
My duty is to the future,
And here will I lay my foundations
That my treasure stays most pure.
Take not, for I will take from you -
But come in peace and joy, and joy shall be your reward.
