Canopic Jars Poem

Over the gods that guard the funeral jars,

Those mighty sons of Horus,

Hapi, Amset, Duamutef, Kebehsenuf,

Are greater gods,

Nephthys, Isis, Neith and Seket,

Guarding the guarding-gods!

Over them all,

And over all the dead,

The dead that live, the dead that never lived,

Over the great and greater,

Over the very small

Even this little Canopic Jars of song,

Dead dreams that will not die

One God!
