Perceive you palm-wine tappers and drinkers
The drum speaks the same choice words
Of unity and peaceful arrangements.
He sings better than the nightingale
Roars deeper than Lion the forest king
Higher, calling down the sparrows
And harder than the elephant's horn...

Tracing the tails of wisdom
And the cultural tradition of kingdoms
Earmarked by the residuals of monuments
Sculptures, structures, seals of fallen Governments...
