Hathor, the queen
Of Night, her carcanet
Of diamonds and sapphires hath enclasped
With the twin pearls of dawn and eve,
Pale gems of woe.
Of Night, her carcanet
Of diamonds and sapphires hath enclasped
With the twin pearls of dawn and eve,
Pale gems of woe.
But Ra, the lord
Of Day, hath wrought his zone
Of amber and of turquoise. For a clasp
He wears the great Sun-ruby, stone
Of love and joy.
