  3. Indeed, in between the flickerings of Visions, the folds of the Imagination, and the eyes of the Impossible,
  4. Winged songs in rapture float aboard a vessel of hopes!
    Art's Plume is a balsam, a weapon, and a guide enlightening the spirit of men.
  5. The cord and the pen polished words of letters white do each declare:
  6. "Has this existence meaning if it fathoms not my essence and my sphere?"
  7. The songs of my lute - from my heart's bliss or lamentations proceeding - do my soul transport!
    Art's Plume is a balsam, a weapon, and a guide enlightening the spirit of men.
  8. I used to be the figment of a dream indulging in fantastic hopes - mumblings making their way along a path of weariness.
  9. At times would I have insight into life and at times would I don a garb of silence in the hearts of nights.
  10. Yet today I live within the hearts of brave young men who have taken art as their bosom friend and, who through its inspiration clear, have acquired all that is held dear.
  11. Rejoice, oh Mauritania, and delight, this is but a glimmer of your radiant light!
  12. Rejoice, oh Beloved Country, we are but a droplet of all that flows from your ever-gushing fountainhead!
  13. Be of good cheer, applaud the outpouring of a spring giving to drink each generation throughout the years!
  14. Once did the colonizer try to obstruct its course across the sands;
  15. Yet it began to eat away at those dams in its course and to flow, heedless, taking no care,
    Art's Plume is a balsam, a weapon, and a guide enlightening the spirit of men.
  16. And to rise high throughout the ages, holding its origins dear, most lofty, ever so magnanimous,
  17. With a whisper elevating as a golden bridge, soaring in loftiness!
    Art's Plume is a balsam, a weapon, and a guide enlightening the spirit of men.
