Poem by James Weldon Johnson

The Reward

No greater earthly boon than this I crave,
That those who some day gather 'round my grave,
In place of tears, may whisper of me then,
"He sang a song that reached the hearts of men."

1. The Color Sergeant
2. A Banjo Song
3. Answer to Prayer
4. Down by the Carib Sea. 6. Sunset in the Tropics
5. And the Greatest of These Is War
