Ancient songs, unlike the Sumerian hymn still very much familiar today:

(1) From the Egypt of Tutankhamun's dad:

The Sun, as God, is Aten,
Hip hip hip hooray!
The Sun, as God, is Aten,
And He's coming out to play!

(2) From those merchant adventurers of the Mediterranean, the Phoenicians, as the sun set in the mysterious West and they finally shipped the oars and rested their aching arms and backs:

Trireme goodnight,
Trireme goodnight,
Goodnight trireme,
Goodnight trireme,
I'll see you in my dreams.
