Calabar, my sweet happy
peaceful home
A land where
tranquility reign supreme
A place epitomizing
what a paradise is
A home so grandeur,
so sweet, so beautifully endowed.
Calm atmospheric
air-from nature, a gift so lofty
Clean and green-scenery
so fragrantly imbued
Cool natural
weather-man’s original homelike Eden’s
Celsiusly blessed
each passing hour-Calabar my city, Canaan Home
Calabar, as a lamp on
a hill, Canaanland-appeals to the minds & souls
Tickling the
heartbeats, ennobling the senses,-sophistry so beautifully adorned
Wonderful sights to
behold-peaceful nature resuscitates, elongate lifespan
Like Canaan of old
spilling milk & honey-inhabitants shines in smile like morning stars
Calabar, the land of
my birth-a city of great men-shall I raise my offsprings rejoicing
In this paradise on
earth-place of civilization rebirth- can I ever forget you?
Reminiscence of my
childhood days-a joy of fulfillment envelopes and thrills my soul
Whenever on return
home, Calabar!-anxieties flee, recreating, body resurrects, re-lives
Calabar, I shall soon
retire to return-after my years of sojourn and endless foray in the wild
To a land so blessed,
so dear, so adoring, to a living heart-reviving the ingenuity of my whole being
Calabar! My soul
still longs, pants for you-after cease of labour to retire to rest in this land
of fulfillment
Calabar!! A model
city of our time-peaceful disposition of your people uplifts dying souls.
this is a real paradise on earth
