Daughters Of Ezionum Poem by Umu Ezionum

Daughters Of Ezionum



Daughters of Ezionum
Daughters of Aweka
Daughters of Unuami
Daughters of Ogbe Ofu
Daughters of the land
so spread in white sand

It was your beauty that shy away
full moon into crescent at the young night
Even the sun forget to give shadow it
life at your presence

Permit me to utter few things
Not only about your beauty
For I heard the stars saying
your resplendence is supreme

I have dine with the king
sat in the kitchen with the queen
Eat the food of indi ike
stood in the gathering of okpaluku

I can trade away all this things
Even with hard labour just to have
a few extra moment with you.
permit me meet please i beg you.

Your beauty is one thing
Your character makes the wave
of chukchi sea to murmur
Like an envious step mother

Rise in the morning
Face rinsed with water
Cutlass at hand like a man of war
The farm bow at your no lingering hand

A Voice crescendo
Sparkles of light were seen at night
complemented by a sweet aroma in thin air
The Nightingale could not help but peep

Your leg is full of graceful dance
I was there.. I saw you at the band
They bend like the iroko during the east wind
All night, you battle with dance

I salute you oh fair maiden
I salute you like the dew salute the earth
Anyone who tries to compare herself with you
I will rebuke with a blind eye.

Daughters of Ezionum
Daughters of Aweka
Daughters of Unuani
Daughters of Ogbe Ofu
Daughters of the land
so spread in white sand
