I AM here, I have traversed the Tomb, I behold thee, Thou who art strong! I have passed through the Underworld, gazed on Osiris, Scattered the night. I have come, I have gazed on my Father, Osiris, I am his son. I am the son who loveth his Father, I am beloved. I have made me a path through the western horizon, Even as God. I have followed his footsteps, and won through his magic Millions of years. The Gate between Heaven and Earth standeth open, Glad is my path. Hail, every god! every soul! out of darkness Shineth my light! Like the Hawk I went in; I come forth like the Phœnix, Star of the dawn. In the beautiful world by the bright Lake of Horus, Riseth the Day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MARRIAGE by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE MOURNING-GARMENT: THE SHEPHERD'S WIFE'S SONG by ROBERT GREENE THE BIGLOW PAPERS. 2D SERIES: 2.
