THE IMMORTELLE

Among the cocoa fields

The tall Immortelle stands,

Like umbrellas that shade the sun

Like mothers that protect their young,

5 The planters haven from the sun,

The birds that rest their weary wings.

The branches from which squirrel swings,

Its big bright flowers that add to the hue.

That joins the sky in tones of blue,

10 The Immortelle, the Immortelle
