Claude McKay - Rest in PeaceClaude McKay - Rest in Peace
Work rating: Low


No more for you the city`s thorny ways,  The ugly corners of the Negro belt; The miseries and pains of these harsh days  By you will never, never again be felt. No more, if still you wander, will you meet  With nights of unabating bitterness; They cannot reach you in your safe retreat,  The city`s hate, the city`s prejudice! `Twas sudden—but your menial task is done,  The dawn now breaks on you, the dark is over, The sea is crossed, the longed-for port is won;  Farewell, oh, fare you well! my friend and lover.
