James Weldon Johnson (Джеймс Уэлдон Джонсон)

To America

HOW would you have us, as we are?
Or sinking 'neath the load we bear?
Our eyes fixed forward on a star?
Or gazing empty at despair?

Rising or falling? Men or things?
With dragging pace or footsteps fleet?
Strong, willing sinews in your wings?
Or tightening chains about your feet? 

1. An Explanation
2. Brer Rabbit, You's de Cutes' of 'Em All
3. And the Greatest of These Is War
4. Down by the Carib Sea. 4. The Lottery Girl
5. O Southland!
