Poem by James Weldon Johnson

The Reward

No greater earthly boon than this I crave,
That those who some day gather 'round my grave,
In place of tears, may whisper of me then,
"He sang a song that reached the hearts of men."

1. The Color Sergeant
2. Answer to Prayer
3. A Banjo Song
4. Down by the Carib Sea. 4. The Lottery Girl
5. O Southland!
