The Souls of Black Folk · ¶26

O water, voice of my heart, crying in the sand,     All night long crying with a mournful cry, As I lie and listen, and cannot understand         The voice of my heart in my side or the voice of the sea,     O water, crying for rest, is it I, is it I?         All night long the water is crying to me.
