Africa Beauty

oh Africa!
      the land built with breats,
      overflowing with the milk of an infant,
      in the bosom of the deepest earth,
5    Yet with irresistible beauty.


      Africa Oh Africa!!
      a nation developed with admirable beauty,
      that flashes like a twinkling darkness,
      and lightens like a moon over the earth,
10  Yet brighter than a transparent sun.


      Africa! Oh Africa!!!
      the voice of fashion whispered,
      Your beauty filled the atmosphere like a ceremonious infant,
      just like the fragrant of a wooden spray.
