By Nehi Igbinijesu.
Teary eyes everywhere
No more with us you are
The smiles-All gone
With wonder gathered from abroad
Who shall console us?
And give us hope to do
Who shall remind us?
To be faithful, just and true
Many a light with yours had deemed
Drowned in a mirth of unborn dreams
For whom again
Doth our hearts bleed
Save a man
Our saviour, ne’er king
To an Icon
From another day
Adieu say we
Till time we meet!
