African Damsel
AFRICAN DAMSEL
The aesthetic work of nature.
As shining as the dark coal of the east.
A figure admired than 8
Hairs like the tail of horse
A skin better than fresh foliage in day
Legs far more straight than ostrich’s
Eyes sharper than eagles and lovelier than cats
The “Uri” her beautifier and decorator
A walking cat in her walk
Gentle and peaceful like dove
As diligent as the diligent ant
Per excellence in all
Thou are beauty
Thou are glorious to behold.
