O my lady, on hearing your sound,
hills and flatlands bow.
O my lady, guardian of all the great essences,
you have picked them up and hung them
on your hand.
You are lofty like Heaven. Let the world know!
You are wide like the earth. Let the world know!
You strike everything down in battle.
O my lady, on your wings
you hack away the land and charge disguised
as a charging storm,
roar as a roaring storm,
thunder and keep thundering, and snort
with evil winds.
O primary one,
moon goddess Inanna of heaven and earth!
On your harp of sighs
I hear your dirge.
O my lady, this song has made you great
and exalted you.
O my lady, wife of An, I have told your fury!
--Enheduanna (born ca. 2300 B.C)
