Countee Cullen (Каунти Каллен)


A Brown Girl Dead


With two white roses on her breasts, 
White candles at head and feet, 
Dark Madonna of the grave she rests; 
Lord Death has found her sweet.

Her mother pawned her wedding ring
To lay her out in white; 
She’d be so proud she’d dance and sing
to see herself tonight.



Countee Cullen's other poems:
  1. Uncle Jim
  2. Red
  3. For My Grandmother
  4. Harlem Wine
  5. Song in Spite of Myself
