Upon setting my eyes on Kilimanjaro

Light of my world
Beacon of my existence
Luminous cumulus be your crown
Caught in the brilliance
Of the setting sun
Luminous clouds be your gown
My one and true bride
Carpet of strato-cumulus
Spread all around you
White rose confetti
My only true pride
Queen of my Africa
Beauty and magnificence
Guardian of the land
Torch bearer of the dark
Come,
Embrace me with your glory
Come,
Unite with my soul.
