Egyptian Poetry
• Death is before me today
• Like the recovery of a sick man,
• Like going forth into a garden after
sickness.
•
Death is before me today
•
Like the odor of myrrh,
•
Like sitting under the sail on a windy
day.
• Death is before me today
• Like the odor of lotus flowers
• Like sitting on the shore of drunkenness.
•
Death is before me today
•
Like the course of a freshet,
•
Like the return of a man from the war
galley to his house.
• Death is before me today
• As a man longs to see his home
• When he had spent years in captivity.
