James Weldon Johnson
And God smiled again,
And the rainbow appeared,
And curled itself around his shoulder.
Johnson quotes
The glory of the day was in her face,
The beauty of the night was in her eyes.
Johnson
Find Sister Caroline...
And she's tired—
She's weary—
Go down, Death, and bring her to me.
