A modern Orphic hymn to Euros the eastern Wind

Among the traditional Orphic hymns, none is found for Euros, the East wind (presumably because of its negative associations in Greek religion). I decided to fill the gap by creating such a hymn, based on primary sources and following the same pattern and length as those of the other three.

Tempestuous eastern gale, scion of comely Dawn,
Ever tossing the whirling seas in frightful waves.
Hailing from light-giving regions, yet dreadful and terrible,
Showering land and sea with rains unceasing.
Be thou merciful unto us, and abate thy fury,
Gracing us with gentle breezes from thy lofty realm
