The timeless Nile flows fertile and fierce
The sands of the hourglass its drops do pierce
Into the buried past of Great Pharaohs and Queens
The most memorable of All was Nefertiti
The name which means "the beautiful one has come"
To help bring forth a revolution worshipping the Sun
The Great Solar-Disk was the symbol of the day
But it was nearly eclipsed with her beautiful face
O Royal Queen of Egypt your loveliness is entombed
In the collective hearts of man, adorned with double plume
Wearing long flowing white, you are fairest to the Pharaohs
Pyramid-like Pulchritude, your beauty rises incomparable
Though the Great Solar-Disk didst set in the past
The crowning comeliness of Nefertiti is mummified to last
But Eternal Beauty never sets but only changes her face
And she is resurrected in New York by Liberty’s grace
The sands of the hourglass its drops do pierce
