Oh, where has my honey gone? Fly away, my Jubal, fly away! Oh, where have they laid her bones? Sly away, my Jubal, fly away! Conjure woman shake her head, Preacher dumb and master sad. Nobody knows! Nobody knows! Why the tears that drop all night? Fly away, my Jubal, fly away! Why the heart that burns like fire? Fly away, my Jubal, fly away! Angel close the Book of Life, Moon goes down and stars grow cold. Nobody knows! Nobody knows! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE FALL by HAYDEN CARRUTH NEW YEAR'S EVE by DAVID IGNATOW SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: JOSEPH DIXON by EDGAR LEE MASTERS COLLEGE DRINKING SONG by GEORGE SANTAYANA ELEGY: THE LAMENT OF EDWARD BLASTOCK; FOR RICHARD ROWLEY by EDITH SITWELL |
