THE WANDERING BLACK-A-MOOR, by JULIOUS C. HILL First Line: I am a wandering black-a-moor Last Line: I am a wandering black-a-moor. Subject(s): Poverty | ||||||||
I am a wandering black-a-moor, I wander from shore to shore; Cast out from my own door I wander this life over -- I am a wandering black-a-moor. I am a wandering black-a-moor, I wander from door to door; The boon of life is poverty's store Bequeathed to me wherever I go. I am a wandering black-a-moor. I am a wandering black-a-moor, My home is wherever I go; Whether in a palace or lowly dale I drink life's bitters without a wail. I am a wandering black-a-moor. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WEALTH OF THE DESTITUTE by DENISE LEVERTOV EMPTY PITCHFORKS by THOMAS LUX FUNERAL SERVICE by EVE MERRIAM A SMALL COUNTRY by CLARIBEL ALEGRIA DOCUMENTAL by CLARIBEL ALEGRIA NOTES ON POVERTY by HAYDEN CARRUTH SONG OF TWO CROWS by HAYDEN CARRUTH PENCIL STUB JOURNALS: CHOICES by JOHN CIARDI AT LAST WE KILLED THE ROACHES by LUCILLE CLIFTON EPITAPH: IN OBITUM M.S.
