James Weldon Johnson (Джеймс Уэлдон Джонсон)

Down by the Carib Sea. 1. Sunrise in the Tropics

Sol, Sol, mighty lord of the tropic zone,
Here I wait with the trembling stars
To see thee once more take thy throne.

There the patient palm tree watching
Waits to say, "Good morn" to thee,
And a throb of expectation
Pulses through the earth and me.

Now, o'er nature falls a hush,
Look! the East is all a-blush;
And a growing crimson crest
Dims the late stars in the west;
Now, a flood of golden light
Sweeps across the silver night,
Swift the pale moon fades away
Before the light-girt King of Day,
See! the miracle is done!
Once more behold! The Sun!

1. Brer Rabbit, You's de Cutes' of 'Em All
2. A Plantation Bacchanal
3. The Glory of the Day Was in Her Face
4. Answer to Prayer
5. O Southland!
