A Covered Face Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Rejected, neglected, the cupbearer;
Casting longing eyes on him!
But, he is 13 years older.

An archer!
The signet,
The cord,
The staff;
Beside a well of water.

A covered face!
I couldn't find her;
Even though he was around as well,
Searching for her.

Pain and sorrow!
With the ways of life;
With the afflictions of our hearts,
In toil we shall eat from the ground.

Honour and glory!
With the joy of your heart;
Because, you've made it today.

Bath yourself always and be clean,
With love,
With peace,
For the joy of the land;
Unitl the morning light to see the muse of the sun.
