Africa + 

O what a privilege to be⁠— + 

Breath of The Breath Eternal; + 

To have the life, + 

To have the strife + 

Of that dark mystery + 

A son of Africa, whose blood + 

Holds nations all in fee, + 

Commanding by one sultry drop + 

The whole identity; + 

She whispers at the gate of birth + 

And lo! the rainbow on the earth. + 
