Praise to the Nile (Hymn to Hapi)

"Praise to thee, O Nile, who comes forth on the land to make Egypt live! O thou Hidden of Nature, a darkness even by day, whose following praises him, who moistens the field! Creation of Ra to make all animals live, who satiates the desert, a place far from rain. Beloved of Geb, directing Neper, Lord of Fishes, who drives the waterfowl downstream . . . Maker of Barley, Creator of Emmer Wheat, to make festive in the temples . . ."
