ODE TO NEFERTITI

"She looks like the rising morning star,
At the start of a happy year,
Shining bright, fair of skin,
Lovely the look of her eyes,
Sweet the speech of her lips...
With graceful step she treads the ground,
Captures my heart by her movements,
She causes all men's necks
To turn about to see her:
Joy has he whom she embraces,
He is like the first of men!
