Poems by Countee Cullen
Thoughts In A Zoo
... Some, like the snake, with changeless slothful eye, ...
Lines To My Father
... From One Who holds His servants worth their hire ...
Uncle Jim
... His heart walled up with bitterness, ...
Harlem Wine
... That hurtle flesh and bone past fear ...
To the Swimmer
... and soul that will not be appeased until, like you, I breast yon deep and boundless expanse of blue ...
Saturday’s Child
... ” Death cut the strings that gave me life, ...
Karenge ya Marenge
... What Invests one speech with haloed eminence, ...
To John Keats, Poet, At Spring Time
... Spring beats her tocsin call to those who love her, ...
Youth Sings A Song Of Rosebuds
... For a mouth is the best of sweets to suck ...
Song In Spite Of Myself
... Give but a grain of the heart's rich seed, ...
She Of The Dancing Feet Sings
... And how would I thrive in a perfect place ...
To A Brown Girl
... Youth is the time for careless weather ...
To A Brown Boy
... And when your body's death gives birth ...
In Memory Of Col. Charles Young
... From your rich dust and slaughtered will ...
Tableau
... From lowered blinds the dark folk stare ...
