That The Congo River took its depth from my heart,
Well, hardly did that I know!
Until I started fathoming it, to show,
How deep my love for my country does flow.
That I had a Vesuvius hidden in my chest,
How would I know?
Unless someone had curbed my freedom,
And threatened to put me in woe?
That among you I am a beloved person,
I am beginning to know,
Standing before you, I can see,
The love upon me you bestow.
