The black crow

Zaid Ramat Amir 2007 (Abuja)

I saw a black crow
On a dark day
It didn't know where to stay
Then it flew away

I saw a black crow
I wanted it flock away
I tried to scare away
Then it flew away

I saw a black crow
It stared from far away
It was restive today
and it flew away

I saw a black crow
On a bright day
It was serene today
and I let it stay
