Fades into Autumn's tincture manifold.

I cannot skill of these thy ways:
Lord thou didst make me, yet you woundest me:
Lord, thou dost wound me, yet thou dost relieve me:
Lord, thou relievest, yet I die by thee:
Lord, thou dost kill me, yet thou dost reprieve me.
The Bereaved

Lovers, brothers, sons.
Our hearts were full, and out of a full heart
We gave our belovèd ones.

Like the sea, like time.
In you everything sank!
It was the happy hour of assault and the kiss.

Of everything that's excellent.
The White Witch
© James Weldon Johnson
O, brothers mine, take care! Take care!
The great white witch rides out to-night,

For in her glance there is a snare,
And in her smile there is a blight.

Where the vines clamber over the trellis:
Even before you, the summer will arrive,
On its honeysuckle feet, in your bedroom.
