O what a privilege to be --
Breath of The Breath Eternal; / To have the life, / To have the strife / Of that dark mystery / A son of Africa, whose blood / Holds nations all in fee, / Commanding by one sultry drop / The whole identity; / She whispers at the gate of birth / And lo! the rainbow on the earth.
