Poem Title:
Poem	Welcome, thrice welcome, to the city of Dundee, The great African explorer Henry M Stanley, Who went out to Africa its wild regions to explore, And travelled o'er wild and lonely deserts, fatigued and footsore. And what he and his little band suffered will never be forgot, Especially one in particular, Major Edmund Barttelot, Alas! the brave heroic Officer by a savage was shot, The commandant of the rear column - O hard has been his lot! O think of the noble Stanley and his gallant little band, While travelling through gloomy forests and devastated land, And suffering from all kinds of hardships under a burning sun! But the brave hero has been successful and the victory's won. While in Africa he saw many wonderful sights, And was engaged, no doubt, in many savage fights, But the wise Creator was with him all along And now he's home again to us, I hope quite strong. And during his travels in Africa he made strange discoveries, He discovered a dwarfish race of people called pigmies, Who are said to be the original natives of Africa, And when Stanley discovered them he was struck with awe. One event in particular is most worthy to relate, How God preserved him from a very cruel fate: He and his Officers were attacked, while sailing their boat, By the savages of Bumbireh, all eager to cut his throat. They seized him by the hair and tugged it without fear, While one of his men received a poke in the ribs with a spear; But Stanley, having presence of mind, instantly contrives To cry to his men, Shove off the boat, and save your lives! Then savages swarmed into three canoes very close by, And every bow was drawn, while they savagely did cry; But thee heroic Stanley quickly shot two of them dead, Then the savages were baffled and immediately fled. This incident is startling, but nevertheless true, And in midst of all dangers the Lord brought him through Then, welcome him,. thrice welcome him, right cheerfully, Shouting, Long live the great African explorer, Henry M Stanley! Therefore throw open the gates of the city of Dundee, And receive him with loud cheers, three time three, And sound your trumpets and beat your drums, And play up, See the Conquering Hero Comes!
