An Egyptian's Prayer To The Nile River: By Snapshot Historian


   Oh great river, provider of the waters that nourish our crops,
  
   arise and release your substance, I have laid my seeds and 

   plowed the earth, my fruits will not breathe life without your    

   blessing,

   Your rule over the land possesses a celebrated magnitude, it 

   exceeds that of Greece's Drino and Sumer's Tigris, though those

   rivers are deep they are shallow for they are devoid of your  

  blessing,

   
  Come now and enter my land, swiss your wonder upon my 

  ground, splash your greatness all around, and when your 

  handiwork is done, withdraw and leave me with a bountiful 

 harvest, 

 I await your presence on my farmland
