The poet praises African children to a certain height In stanza one, he presents the beauty and uniqueness of African children. He sees the African children as the returning of nature and the beginning of human race as well as creatures. Thus: "A redient beauty of nature Thou are the cradle capital Of humanity and creatures" Here , the poet maintains that African children are distinct from other children in the world. In stanza two, the poet presents the African child asthe beauty of nature and the joy of motherhood as well as the Sharp sword to fight against conflicts. In stanza three, he compares to beautiful songs as he praises them to come at the right time. He also compares the loneliness childlessness can cause to a woman and the emotional discomfort.

That is, before and after the time of Christ. In stanza five, the poet declares that kings and great men bow for children in praise and respect due to their value in heaven and earth.
