"The love of my sister is on yonder side
Of the stream in the midst of the fish.
A crocodile stands on the sandbank
Yet I go down into the water.
I venture across the current:
My courage is high upon the waters.
It is thy love which gives me strength:
For thou makest a water-spell for me
When I see my sister coming, Then my heart rejoices.
My arms are open wide to embrace her;
My heart is glad in its place" (Poetry from the new kingdom).
