Amakhandlela amathathu amancinci
 kwaye yintoni ebuyayo
 ubungqina beeyure ezichithwe ngokuvisisana
 uchulumanco lobunzulu bendalo
 ubambe umoya ngaphambi kokuba ugqabhuke
 amandla okujonga emva kweglasi
 ubukho obufihlakeleyo bomntu ongunaphakade
 inkumbulo yeenkumbulo ezingapheliyo
 ukubhideka kwenkohliso
 ukuqaqamba kwenkanyezi enomsila akuzange kwenzeke
 ukubamba imbonakalo
 ukuzola kwezimbo zomzimba eziphindaphindiweyo
 uthando lweengoma ezindala zatshintshwa
 ngaphaya kweefom ezilindele ukuzaliseka kwazo
 ukugqithisela okumangalisayo kwexesha
 ukuzola phambi koku kushiya ukuya kwindawo evulekileyo
 inxeba lavakala lidibene neglasi eyophukileyo
 Ukutyibilika kweminwe kwisikhumba esitsha
 isithethe esenziwa zizinto ezaziwayo
 amava ahlaziywa rhoqo
 intlabathi elulwelo yokubhadula okuhamba-hambayo
 indawo exineneyo yamandla okuhlala
 ukoyiswa kwento ekukhanyeni ukubakho
 ukucaca kokuthululwa komsebenzi ogqityiweyo
 ukunyuka komkhusane phambi kwelanga
 ukunyuka kweengqondo ukuya entliziyweni yehlabathi
 ukusondelana kokuba kufakwe emthethweni
 ubungqina bobungqina obufikelelekayo kwigcisa
 ukufiphala kweziganeko kwinkungu ekhululayo
 ukubuyiselwa komhlaba wethu wangaphakathi
 umsebenzi omde nothobekileyo wokucoca
 imfazwe nxamnye nethunzi
 umntu olungileyo kwiimeko zakhe zokubuyisela
 ibala elitsha lobuso bethu liphinda libe nobulumko
 umculo kwi-asceticism ethintelweyo
 ubuhle kubabalo lokuba jikelele .

 Ukuphila ngokuzibuza ukuhlonela imfihlo
 ukukhumbula umkhondo wabantu
 ukuphefumla kwinyani ekuphela kwayo enexabiso
 umoya omhle wokuma
 indumiso yemihla ngemihla
 ingcamango yelitye elilula elinombala.
