"Ethiopia Shall Rise”

by Kwame Nkrumah

President Kwame Nkrumah,
the first president of Ghana
once wrote a poem on Ethiopia

Ethiopia shall rise

Ethiopia, Africa’s bright gem

Set high among the verdant hills

That gave birth to the unfailing

Waters of the Nile

Ethiopia shall rise

Ethiopia, land of the wise;

Ethiopia, bold cradle of Africa’s ancient rule

And fertile school

Of our African culture;

Ethiopia, the wise

Shall rise

And remould with us the full figure

Of Africa’s hopes

And destiny.

Kwame Nkrumah
