Nancy FarmerI am she who lifts the mountains
When she goes to hunt,
Who wears mamba for a headband
And a lion for a belt.

And pick my teeth with rhinoceros horns,

Let them hear my words!

Instead of spears.
The ostrich is my pillow
And the elephant is my footstool!
I am Nhamo
Who makes the river my highway
And sends crocodiles scurrying into the reeds!
