The Love Song for Shu-Sin (written ca 2000 B.C.E.). The cuneiform tablet, found in Mesopotamia during excavation works in 19th century C.E., was taken to the Istanbul Museum (Turkey) where it remained stored (no 2461), untranslated and unknown until 1951, when the famous sumerologist Samuel Noah Kramer translated it. It seems that it was part of a sacred rite performed yearly and called "Sacred Marriage". Shu-Sin reigned as king in the city of Ur from 2037 to 2029 B.C.E., or according to another chronological order, between 1972 to 1964 B.C.E. It's translation is found in Kramer's work History Begins at Sumer, pp. 246-247.
