Classic and Contemporary Poetry

PERSPECTIVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: SOME DAY
Last Line: THAT WOUND ME!
Subject(s): AFRICAN AMERICANS; NEGROES; AMERICAN BLACKS;
Some day
I shall be glad that it was mine to be
A dark fore-runner of a race burgeoning;
I then shall know
The secret of life's Calvary,
And bless the thorns
That wound me!
