I-Mirabelle plums kunkomba    
 amaparele alindile    
 lokuthi ngubani ozogoba    
 ethunzini lombono    
 ngaphandle kokuvela kukayinki    
 encwadini enamathiselwe    
 kuya ebugqileni besenzo.        
  
 Impilo    
 ogcwele ukuzisebenza    
 endaweni yokwamukela izivakashi    
 izindebe zami zivaliwe    
 ngenhliziyo ecabangayo    
 i-echo edume kakhulu    
 amanqina ezimvu    
 esiqwini sentaba.        
  
 KuloZiqu-zintathu    
 joyina    
 ubuso bezingane    
 izithonjana zokudweba ezihlanzekile    
 ama-insoles jikelele    
 abahamba ngomoya    
 kanye ne-fern epaulette    
 du galimatias des izingxoxo.
