A Tribute to Rhodesia: The Flame Lily - Video
PUBLISHED:  Apr 18, 2015
DESCRIPTION:
Ootah presents a tribute to the little country of Rhodesia in an original poem, 'The Flame Lily', set to the tune of 'Oh, Christmas Tree' with some inspiration from the song 'Maryland, My, Maryland'.
Captions are not available on mobile so here are the lyrics.

The Flame Lily burns no more,
In Rhodesia, blessed Rhodesia.

Thy flame has been put out
In Rhodesia, blessed Rhodesia.

Thy petals have been crushed under foot,
By a tyrant who brings only hurt.
But one day thou shalt come back to stay
In Rhodesia, blessed Rhodesia.

May thy seeds take firm root,
May they grow without need for alert.
And be watered without bloody fray,
In Rhodesia, blessed Rhodesia.

May thy flower rise from the root,
May again Liberty's rights assert.
And may thou we proudly display,
In Rhodesia, blessed Rhodesia!
