Oshun: African Beauty

Oh gracious mother of waters beautiful woman has come queen of joy pleasing to thy king Oh green eyed silent beauty Voice as sweet as a kind heart Eye brows as straight as an arrow Oh great mediator of divine Fingers coated with melted gold Shaped with a swan like neck Oh princess among many others Resolute cheeks steady as gaze Gleaming hair with black locks Oh goddess as capable as a king lips as bright as berry fondant Eyes outlined with silver glimmer Oh daughter dark and comely Legs long like the harvestman Waist as round as a circle Oh queen of beauty and devotion Won respect in history of goddess As most beautiful in your time Remembered for beauty and power
