This Pharaoh he worked them, he starved them, he beat them, |

He did all he could to out-rage and ill-treat them, |

For dearly she loved him, her dear little brother! |

His sister, Miriam, called the mother of Moses, and the Princess gave her the boy to nurse. |
|

And quickly she sought for, and brought her, her mother! |
|
|
|
|
As she knew that that boy to their home was forbidden, |
|
|
|
|
As three were the months that the child had been hidden. |
