Poem by James Weldon Johnson

Voluptas

    To chase a never-reached mirage
    Across the hot, white sand,
    And choke and die, while gazing on
    Its green and watered strand.

1. Brer Rabbit, You's de Cutes' of 'Em All
2. Answer to Prayer
3. A Plantation Bacchanal
4. De Little Pickaninny's Gone to Sleep
5. Sence You Went Away
