Like Africa

He is like Africa in whose

White flame the brilliant acres lie,

And all his nature’s latitude

Gives measure of the simile.

His light, his stars, his hemisphere

Blaze like a tropic, and immense

The moon and leopard stride his blood

And mark in him their opulence.

In him the muffled drums of forests

Inform like dreams, and manifold

Lynx, eagle, thorn, effect about him

Their very night and emerald.

And like a river his Zambesi

Gathers the swell of seasons’ rains,

The islands rocking on his breast,

The orchid open in his loins.
