|a This poem is a prayer for rain, although general prayer surrounds that request, which is directly made in the seventh stanza. The poet addresses God, praising God’s goodness and invoking the Prophet Mohammed. The poet uses ‘ka--’ for the standard ‘ha--’; for example, ‘katuna’ for ‘hatuna’ in the third line of the fifth stanza. The northern form ‘vua’ is used instead of ‘mvua’ (seventh stanza), and the northern, archaic form ‘saya’ is used for the standard ‘haya’ (ninth stanza). ‘Mtima’ is used instead of ‘moyo.’ For discussion of this poem in relation to the development of the takhmis form, see Harries (1962). |
