Question [1]
Original Text
The Weary Blues (New York: A. A. Knopf, 1926). PS H874w Victoria College Library.
1When the old junk man Death
2Comes to gather up our bodies
3And toss them into the sack of oblivion,
4I wonder if he will find
5The corpse of a white multi-millionaire
6Worth more pennies of eternity,
7Than the black torso of
8A Negro cotton-picker?
