Colored Blues Singer by Contee Cullen
28. Mar, 2012 0 Comments
I can’t find this poem anywhere else online so I’m posting it here:
Colored Blues Singer
Some weep to find the Golden Pear
Feeds maggots at the core,
And some grow cold as Ice, and bear
Them prouder than before
But you go singing like the sea
Whose lover turns to land;
You make your grief a melody
And take it by the hand.
Such songs the mellow-bosomed maids
Of Africa intone
For lovers dead in hidden glades,
Slow rotting flesh and bone.
Such keenings tremble from the kraal,
Where sullen-browed abides
The second wife whose dark tears fail
To draw him to her sides.
Somewhere Jeritza breaks her heart
On symbols Verdi wrote;
You tear the strings of your soul apart,
Blood dripping note by note.
1. Maria Jeritza, a Chech-born soprano was a major opera star of the twenties and thirties.”
2. Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), Italian composer of some of the most famous operas in the world, including Aida (1871), Otello (1887), Il Trovatore (1853) and La Traviata (1853)
