Claude McKay - TormentedClaude McKay - Tormented
Work rating: Low


I will not reason, wrestle here with you,  Though you pursue and worry me about; As well put forth my swarthy arm to stop  The wild wind howling, darkly mad without. The night is yours for revels; day will light.  I will not fight you, bold and tigerish, For I am weak, while you are gaining strength;  Peace! cease tormenting me to have your wish. But when you`re filled and sated with the flesh,  I shall go swiftly to the silver stream, To cleanse my body for the spirit`s sake,  And sun my limbs, and close my eyes to dream.
