Mississippi – 1955(To the Memory of Emmett
Till)Oh what sorrow!
Oh what painThat tears and bloodShould mix like rain
And terror come againTo MississippiCome again?
Where has terror been?On vacation? Up North?
In some section Of the nation,
Lying low, unpublicized?Masked-with only
Jaundiced eyesShowing through the mask?
Oh what sorrow, Pity, pain,
That tears and bloodShould mix like rain
In Mississippi!And terror, fetid hot,
Yet clammy coldRemain.
