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
