Artwork Description:

We journey up the storied Nile The timeless water seems to smile The slow and swarthy boatman sings The dahabëah spreads her wings We catch the breeze and sail away, Along the dawning of the day, Along the East, wherein the morn Of life and truth was gladly born. We sail along the past, and see Great Thebes with Karnak at her knee. To Isis and Osiris rise The prayers and smoke of sacrifice. Mid rites of priests and pomp of kings Again the seated Memnon sings. We watch the palms along the shore, And dream of what is here no more. The gliding Cleopatran Nile, With glossy windings, mile on mile, Suggests the asp: in coils compact It hisses--at the cataract. Thence on again we sail, and strand Upon the yellow Nubian sand, Near Aboo Simbel s rock-hewn fane, Which smiles at time with calm disdain.
