Egyptian Love Poem I

"The voice of the swallow speaks and says: 'Day is breaking - where will you go?' O bird, you shall not distract me, For I have found my loved one in his bed, And my heart is more than glad When he said to me: 'I shall not go afar off, But my hand is in your hand, And I shall stroll about, Being with you in every pleasant place.' So he makes me foremost of maidens, And he injures not my heart."
