Niger River
The Niger floats running down the sea.
Where on earth did she get her water? asked the sage. During downpours the heavens give it pours. The drains drain the water down the streams, and the stream flows down the Niger.
Niger, Oh Niger, a river of the ancient. From thee, our Nation has her birth.
River of ancient tales. Thou floats in great torrent traversing the globe. Where on earth has thou Niger not given thy flows.
Oh Niger, Thy whiteness and tranquility spread beyond the horizon with green borders along thy edge. Thy flow is as seasonless as existence.
As ubiquitous as the Niger so is our nation. Through thick and thin we travail in the torrent of adversity. Never was it told that the Niger was divided. Likewise, the sureness of our unity is unassailable.
