Poetry of the Harlem Renaissance: Visualizing Magazines, Editors, and Poems

Gwendolyn B. Bennett, "Purgation" (1925)

You lived
and your body
Clothed the flames of earth.
Now that the fires have burned away
And left your body cold,
I tremble as I stand
Before the chiseled marble
Of your dust-freed soul.
