"Dumuzi sang:
'O Lady, your breast is your field.
Inanna, your breast is your field.
Your broad field pours out plants.
Your broad field pours out grain.
Water flows from on high for you servant.
Bread flows out from on high for your servant.
Pour it out for me, Inanna.
I will drink all you offer."
From the Courtship of Inanna and Dumuzi. Translated from the Sumerian cuneiform tablets by Diane Wolkstein and Samual Kramer in the Book:
Inanna; Queen of Heaven and Earth. Her Stories and Hymns from Sumer.
