Poem
Jamaica, I hear you laughing now like a water sprite's Amplitude of songs. You splash against the shivering light, Militant, your bold children like stars of distant nights Awakening to dance around the peonies throbbing sight Infinite wisdom exalt you in your intellect and your grace Consistent in your virtues green, industrious in your place Admiration like a candle I bring to the table of delights. Out of Many one people, the motto of primeval unity Utterly devoted to human justice and our equal rights Talented and special for your freedom to humanity Overcomer of a dark beggining, giver of dawn and dew Fearless torch bearers of man's true democratic dawn Mother of the Indies, nurturer of the great spiritual view Artistically incline us that dancers will quadrille on the lawn Nanny and Cudjoe will be sung with heroes still unborn Yesterday's trouble too will but a sudden shred of air Owed to you are kingdoms where your sons all toiled for National heritage with courage when civil rights had its scar Endowed us again with visions for tomorrow's dim despair Prosper once more from our ingenuity and will to succeed Emerald fields shall be then the palaces of our humble race Offering strangers and friends nourishment where we feed Pledge we this to you: loyalty, love, and passion's embrace Loving you for loving us, O Island where the seven rivers roar Eternal blessings crown your people, their toil and your shore
