De Aegypto

I even I, am he who knoweth the roads / Through the sky, and the wind thereof is my body. // I have beheld the Lady of Life, / I, even I, who fly with the swallows. // Green and gray is her raiment, / Trailing along the wind. // I, even I, am he who knoweth the roads / Through the sky, and the wind thereof is my body. // Manus animam pinxit, / My pen is in my hand // To write the acceptable word.... / My mouth to chant the pure singing! // Who hath the mouth to receive it, / The song of the Lotus of Kumi? // I, even I, am he who knoweth the roads / Through the sky, and the wind thereof is my body. // I am flame that riseth in the sun, / I, even I, who fly with the swallows. // The moon is upon my forehead, / The winds are under my lips. // The moon is a great pearl in the waters of sapphire, / Cool to my fingers the flowing waters. // I, even I, am he who knoweth the roads / Through the sky, and the wind thereof is my body. // I will return to the halls of the flowing, / Of the truth of the children of Ashu. // I, even I, am he who knoweth the roads / Of the sky, and the wind thereof is my body.
