njengomdlalo womntwana ongcungcuthekisayo, okhubazekileyo, iminyaka.
Emva kwemini, ndiphantse ndagula ngenxa yokuba kude kakhulu,
ingena ebusuku
njengomzimba odiniweyo kukudinwa, elwandle, kamnandi.
Iintaka ziwela indawo ekwanti ngemibala engaqinisekanga
kwaye, apho ekupheleni, abanye abahamba ngokukhululeka
bazivumela ukuba badinwe ngumgama; ngoko

unokwenza ngokuchasene nayo, ngaphezu kokubandezeleka,
odidekileyo kwaye ovilaphayo, indlela yentlungu eyomileyo;
kwaye khumbula, ngokukhawuleza,
abanye abafileyo ababengonwabanga.
