Thou hast set a Nile in heaven, That it may fall for them. Making floods upon the mountains, like the great sea; And watering their fields among their towns. How excellent are thy designs, lord of eternity ! The Nile in heaven is for the strangers, 1 The other hymiiB frequently say, '* O thou tM>le god, beside whom there is no other.'* THE RELIGIOUS REVOLUTION OP IKHNATON 375 And for the cattle of every land, that go upon their feet; But the Nile, it cometh from the nether world for Egypt. Thus... thy rays nourish every garden, When thou risest they live, and grow by thee. ThB SBA80N8. Thou makest the seasons, in order to create all thy works: Winter bringing them coolness, And the heat [of summer likewise]. Thou hast made the distant heaven to rise therein, In order to behold all that thou didst make. While thou wast alone, Rising in thy form as living Aton, Dawning, shining afar off and returning. Beauty Due to Light. Thou makest the beauty of form, through thyself alone. Cities, towns and settlements.
