Excerpt from Africa: An Essay
Great Rivers pour the mighty ¿ood They drain from mountain, lake, and wood, Coming from springs unseen, afar, Of unexplored Interior. The Nile, a solemn mystery, As in the ages gone, Flows in majestic loneliness From Source as yet unknown. That Source kings sought, past Egypt's soil, Past Nubia, past Sennar. And volumes writ, with various toil, Of rumor near and far. But, ever, like the pursuit vain, A rainbow's promised gold to gain, Whene'er they thought the end they'd won, The endless river still ¿owed on. But, now, perhaps, we dimly learn Where lies the N ile's great fountain-urn, Snow mountain streams that ¿ow to make The queenly *nyanza's sea-like Lake.
