Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Rencontre
MY heart, which beat so passionless,
Leaped high last night when I saw you.
Within me surged the grief of years
And whelmed me with its endless rue.
My heart which slept so still, so spent,
Awoke last night-to break anew."
Written by Jessie Redmon Fauset (1882-1961)
