In the poem I Will Pronounce Your Name, the poet gives the name to a woman, either an actual woman or an allegorical one, calling her the Princess of Elissa, forced from the kingdom of Futa.
Until the region was dominated by the twin forces of French colonialism and the Umarian Muslims, Futa Toro (formerly Tekrur) was the capital of a Sengalese kingdom from the 16th to the 19th century AD.
The poet, Leopold Sedar Senghor (1906-2001), was the first President of Senegal and served for 20 years, from 1960 to 1980.

Where can i find the poem i will pronounce your name by leopold sedar senghor?
The poet (who was also for 20 years the President of Senegal) is lavish in his praise of a woman, a princess named Naett, to the point of extensively praising her name. The sweet, lovely, and magnificent things that he describes are the daily wonders of his native land of Senegal. Many readers have suggested that it is Africa itself that he is praising, his homeland having lost its "royal" stature to colonialism for nearly a century.
