Additional Poems By Arna Bontemps Essay, Research Paper

God Give to Men

God give the yellow man

an easy breeze at blossom time.

Grant his eager, slanting eyes to cover

every land and dream

of afterwhile.

Give blue-eyed men their swivel chairs

to whirl in tall buildings.

Allow them many ships at sea,

and on land, soldiers

and policemen.

For black man, God,

no need to bother more

but only fill afresh his meed

of laughter,

his cup of tears.

God suffer little men

the taste of soul’s desire.

All night they whine upon their ropes and boom

against the dock with helpless prows:

these little ships that are too worn for sailing

front the wharf but do not rest at all.

Tugging at the dim gray wharf they think

no doubt of China and of bright Bombay,

and they remember islands of the East,

Formosa and the mountains of Japan.

They think of cities ruined by the sea
