The [a](A)canals will emit a stench,
The [b](B)streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up;
(C)The reeds and rushes will rot away.
The bulrushes by the (D)Nile, by the [c]edge of the Nile
And all the sown fields by the Nile
Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
And the (E)fishermen will grieve,
And all those who cast a [d]line into the Nile will mourn,
And those who spread nets on the waters will dwindle away.
