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.
