Document Summary
But i am black as if bereav"d of light: the little black boy, my mother bore me in the southern wild, And i am black, but o! my soul is white; 2: white as an angel is the english child: 5: my mother taught me underneath a tree. And sitting down before the heat of day, She took me on her lap and kissed me, And pointing to the east began to say. Look on the rising sun: there god does live. And gives his light, and gives his heat away. And flowers and trees and beasts and men receive. And we are put on earth a little space, That we may learn to bear the beams of love, And these black bodies and this sun-burnt face. Is but a cloud, and like a shady grove. For when our souls have learn"d the heat to bear. The cloud will vanish we shall hear his voice.
