Africa

When you have acquired a taste of the dust,

And the scent of our first rain,

You’re hooked for life on Africa,

And you’ll not be right again.

Until you can watch the setting moon

and hear the jackals bark,

And know they are around you

Waiting in the dark.

When you long to see the elephants

or hear the coucal’s song,

When the moonrise sets your blood on fire,

then you’ve been away too long.

It is time to cut the traces loose,

and let your heart go free,

Beyond that far horizon

Where your spirit yearns to be.

Africa is waiting –come

Since you have touched the open sky

And learned to love the rustling grass

and the wild fish eagle’s cry.

You’ll always hunger for the bush;

for the lion’s rasping roar;

To camp at last beneath the stars

and to be at peace once more.
