Claude McKay - The Barrier
Work rating: Medium

I must not gaze at them although 
  Your eyes are dawning day; 
I must not watch you as you go 
  Your sun-illumined way; 

I hear but I must never heed 
  The fascinating note, 
Which, fluting like a river reed, 
  Comes from your trembing throat; 

I must not see upon your face 
  Love`s softly glowing spark; 
For there`s the barrier of race, 
  You`re fair and I am dark.
