Eulogy To the Wind
O wind thou art mighty
Mightier than the mightiest
Invisible as death
You gives human life and plant are not forsaken
With you birds soar higher and eagle moves swiftly
o beautiful and pretty wind that has no enemy
Trees waves their hands in appreciation as you pass by
You can leave stupid women naked in the market place
I salute you might one
Who could behold your strength and power?
Ikuku Ndu, who toss things around in merriment
i praise and adore you, your majesty
O wind, the maker of rain
salute to the greatest of all creature
You are beyond man visibility and touch
yet you never disobey thy maker
Who made thee with such power?
The field moves back and forth and,
flapping hands of the Birds delight the day
You increase the burning fire in the field
Above the sky so high
You brighten the day and make things cold
pretty as you are,
You make the royal sun smiles and all lips smiles
Beneath the glories silence of the glowing city
You make things dry and handsomely rewarded
No one seems to notice your work
without you, we would be shrouded in mist of grief
You are beyond man's power
terrible beast like men of Nkporo
Dalu, Dalu, dalu, nwoke oma
The birds boast at home repeatedly for your sake
O wind, praise named Ogazuruoha
You temper justice with mercy and,
No discrimination between the rich and the poor
The good and the bad you forget not
All hail the wind
All hail Ogzuruoha
When happy the earth smiles
and when angry, the whole earth terrible
Hard work is your legacy but,
Men seems not to notice and appreciate you.
