Summer of the North

I look at the mist and gloom and I'm rapt in thought of the northern summer for though I stand on the equator For that is my station in truth Yet this is but cold and misty For if the truth be told That is how things stand here On the slopes of Mt Kenya In the hot summer of the north.

The coldness that seeps into our hearts can be beyond even the heat of the equator's sun.
