Sending forth when thou dost rise Love-looks from thy lovely eyes. Lo ! the dead men in the sands Are in raptures of delight When thou risest, shining bright ; When thou burnest at the noon, Cattle faint and swoon. Loved thou art when in the south Thou thy might art pouring forth, When thou shinest in the north Ah ! how pleasant is thy mouth. * Amen, hidden. THE HYMNS OF ANCIENT EGYPT 215 Lo ! the beauties of thy face Steal the hearts of all away ; Yea, for love of thee our arms Fail, we trembl...e at thy charms, And the glory of thy grace Melts us day by day. XI. Form The All-Creator, One ! Maker of existences ! Men came forth from his two eyes, From his mouth the gods began. For the ox, he is the giver Of green herb of corn, for man ; By him fishes fill the river, Winged fowl fill the sky ; To the egg its being's breath He ordaineth ; And sustaineth Things that creep on earth beneath, Things that upward fly ; Even for the rats that run To their hiding-holes, the sun Bringeth food, and to the nest Where the sweet birds rest.
