Haiti
In Western hemisphere located
“The Pearl of the Antilles”
Thus, for all formerly called
Was due however, its natural beauty
For the Hispaniola Island
It is only a small western portion
With 2680 meters of altitude
Pic la selle stands up
And both the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea
As that sentry, guarding the infinity
Of shipwrecked pieces of black suit history
Patriot and martyr, was his illustrious son
The slave Toussaint L'Ouverture
Reading and writing, also known
For later, the revolution to join
And with all others under the same allegiance
Of freedom, making the great foundation
