'17 Moan, ye south winds! Moan! Howl your songs of sorrow and of woe. Blow your breath to the corners of the earth. Tell them tales they never heard before. Roll, ye thunder! Roll! Send them tales of lynching and of death. Let them shiver in dire disgust At the stench of your sharp and ran corous breath. Flash, ye lightnings! Flash! iLtch sharp dark pictures of the sinful South. Show them the ugliness of their own souls. Shocked, let them clasp their hands across stiff mouth. Come, ye soft rains! Come! hall cool upon my brow. Let me realize that still there's hope— And in this weary land a God somehow . Union Hall. 1883 THE ENGLISH CLUB Hattik M.
