Collected from many parts of Africa and from many different languages, the poems have been sympathetically translated into English. The music of an African tonal language can never be fully expressed in English. The poems in this collection come from widely different cultures, including the Yoruba and Ewe of West Africa, the Zulu and Bushmen of South Africa, the Galla and Swahili of East Africa and even the ancient Egyptians
