Sometimes I feel I know nothing about life

But I do know something about Kenya

I come from the gustily, hilly terrains of rural Ingavira

The land of prosperity

Where our mother earth dons,
green dress and blue crown,
All year round

Come, You
by Rainer Maria Rilke
translation by Michael R. Burch
