Sopdet

The brightest star in the sky
  rising before the flooding of the Nile.
Bringer of fertility
  great harvest of wheat and grain
Behold the lute bearer
  for the queen of heaven
and the Goddess Hathor
 open the Nile in the sky.
she who is the brightest
   consort of Sah.
Great manifestation of Isis
 like a sun behind a sun
   lighting up the night sky.


For Hexebah
