- Description
- "Black and white ox, tell us where the trampled grass has been swept away. The grass which was carried awayby the water." In the words of this song, the rain clouds are likened to a black and white ox. The rain has beaten down the grass and swept away the debris of broken stalks. Where? A good example of the poetic imagery typical of some Tswana poetry. Rain song.
