Poems by Claude McKay
Adolescence
... Peace came with sleep and sleep was long and deep, ...
Africa
... The sun sought thy dim bed and brought forth light, ...
After the Winter
... Some day, when trees have shed their leaves ...
Alfonso, Dressing to Wait at Table
... His moods are storms that frighten and make glad, ...
Baptism
... I will come out, back to your world of tears, ...
Birds of Prey
... They swoop down for the spoil in certain might, ...
Commemoration
... I never again shall feel your warm heart flushed, ...
Courage
... Even bare rocks where the eagles build their nest, ...
Dawn in New York
... Manhattan's roofs and spires and cheerless domes! ...
December, 1919
... But though the fountain reached my throat ...
Flame-Heart
... What time of year the ground doves brown the fields ...
Flirtation
... Oh, I would never ask for more of thee, ...
Flower of Love
... The air is sweet, my flower, and sweet the flute ...
French Leave
... Under the southern sun, I languid lie And feel the bed about me kindly deep, ...
Futility
... Let new flames brush my love-springs like a feather ...
