My City by James Weldon Johnson

When I come down to sleep death's endless night,The threshold of the unknown dark to cross,

What to me then will be the keenest loss,When this bright world blurs on my fading sight?

Will it be that no more I shall see the treesOr smell the flowers or hear the singing birds

Or watch the flashing streams or patient herds?No, I am sure it will be none of these.

But, ah! Manhattan's sights and sounds, her smells,Her crowds, her throbbing force, the thrill that comes

From being of her a part, her subtle spells,Her shining towers, her avenues, her slums--

O God! the stark, unutterable pity,To be dead, and never again behold my city!

The Weary Blues

Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon, I heard a Negro play.Down on Lenox Avenue the other nightBy the pale dull pallor of an old gas light He did a lazy sway . . . He did a lazy sway . . .To the tune o' those Weary Blues.With his ebony hands on each ivory keyHe made that poor piano moan with melody. O Blues!Swaying to and fro on his rickety stoolHe played that sad raggy tune like a musical fool. Sweet Blues!Coming from a black man's soul. O Blues!

In a deep song voice with a melancholy toneI heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan--     "Ain't got nobody in all this world,       Ain't got nobody but ma self.       I's gwine to quit ma frownin'       And put ma troubles on the shelf.“Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor.He played a few chords then he sang some more--     "I got the Weary Blues       And I can't be satisfied.       Got the Weary Blues       And can't be satisfied--       I ain't happy no mo'       And I wish that I had died.“

And far into the night he crooned that tune.The stars went out and so did the moon.The singer stopped playing and went to bedWhile the Weary Blues echoed through his head.He slept like a rock or a man that's dead.
