" of Africa "

So may have been that we who thought ~ Lands afar 'cross sea swift we'd ought ~ Shores held for us such wealths o'mind ~ O'which we'd never thought we'd find ~ Yet in doing that we'd desired ~ Thus so had much more inspired ~ For naught we knew o'such as does ~ Africa her secret was ~ She her realm of sightly glow ~ We so hers to only show ~ Yet had once been woman so ~ Of that land where we might go ~ For upon her grass once glided lass ~ O'such she was but shimmering glass~ Silken thread o'memory all ~ Her song so did our hearts enthrall~ SeaWolf ©
