Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
The Quadroon
Daughter of Twilight,
Mothered of Midnight,
Fathered of Daylight and Dawn;
Shadow of a Sunlight,
Shimmering Starlight,
Sister of Forest and Fawn!
Maid of a Morrow,
Mistress of Sorrow,
Mingled of Mourning and Mirth;
Born of World Brotherhood,
Crowned of all Motherhood,
Beauty of Heaven and Earth!
Written by W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963)
