Sun sunA
divine Ra HeliosB
you delightC
the hearts of kings and heroesD
sacred horses neigh to youE
in Heliopolis they sing hymns to youE
when you shineF
lizards crawl out onto rocksG
and boys go laughingH
to swim in the NileI
Sun sunA
I am a pale scribblerJ
a library recluseK
but I love you sun no lessL
than a tanned sailorJ
smelling of fish and salt waterJ
and no lessL
than his accustomed heartM
rejoicesL
at your royal risingH
from the oceanA
my heart tremblesL
when your dusty but flaming rayN
slipsL
through the narrow window by the ceilingH
onto my filled pageO
and my thin yellowish handP
writing out in vermilionA
the first letter of a hymn to youE
O Ra Helios sunA
