Subject: RE: Origins: Banks of the Nile
I recall singing another verse (no idea where I got it) which would have come before verses 6 & 7 in my version above (2011).

"Let a hundred days be darkened
And let maidens give a sigh
It would melt the very elements
To hear the wounded cry
Let a hundred days be brightened
And let the maidens give a smile
And remember Abercrombie
On the banks of the Nile."
