Cover the eyes of Isis; that the sky

Is the white body of Neith, arched so on high.

Ours is a secret language, when we smile,

Dreams are denied at birth, all to beguile

Your earthy substance. Ah, at what fell cost

We pay you, so our heritage is lost.


THE KING’S DAUGHTER

She was the fairest of the King’s fair daughters,

Gold and rubies glittered on her hands;
