Saga of Enlil and Ninlil [Sumerian]

In Dilmun, home of the first gods,
did Ninlil come of age along with favored Enlil;
Ninlil, so sensuous, in open fields lured her friend
but games of love got out of hand, he did not stop;
violation, shame, remorse - how do you punish a god
who is air: breath from his parents after-glow?

Banished! Destined yet to be king of the gods,
no longer had sacred home, his only refuge hell;
Enlil hulked down under to dark airless Kur.
Then followed Ninlil to her brute's brooding hearth,
lovely, forgiving, voluptuous, swelled with life;
united in Kur they created heaven below with children.

Wiser, true leaders of gods, they returned above
towing sun and moon in their swaddling clothes,
abandoned other off-sprung horrors: death and its lord.
Father Enlil fashioned helpers: scampering men,
chattering women, such nuisances - drowned the lot;
one man survived, Utnapishtim, given eternal life.

In Nippur Ut built for Enlil House of the Mountain,
for five millennia people have known god's glory,
worshiped his wisdom, who gave tools and other gifts,
cowered from his raging storms' thunder and fire,
yet praised him for watering their fields, their crops;
may he ever dance with Ninlil in the garden of love.
