Poems by James Weldon Johnson
From The German Of Uhland
... "I've loved thee always, I love thee to-day, ...
Fifty Years (1863-1913)
... Our arms have strained, our backs have burned, ...
To Horace Bumstead
... All that throughout the long years had been wrought, ...
Ghosts Of The Old Year
... Thus, filled with aims unreached, life speeds ...
July In Georgy
... An' we's put away de ploughshare, an' we's done hung up de spade, ...
Omar
... That, after all, you found the magic key ...
Venus in the Garden
... The dawn was blushing in her purple bed, ...
The Word Of An Engineer
... Of the man in a draughtsman's cell ...
The Suicide
... There ought to be twenty more years of good punching there ...
The Glory of the Day Was In Her Face
... And now the glorious day, the beauteous night, ...
Dat Gal o' Mine
... W'en she puts her w'ite dress on an' othah things so fine ...
The Color Sergeant
... He fell in the front where the fight grew fierce, ...
Possum Song
... You better run, Brudder 'Possum, git out de way! ...
Girl of Fifteen
... In which you lift those forty summers off my head, ...
Ma Lady's Lips Am Like De Honey
... An' I'm jes like de little bee a-buzzin' ...
