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

Jessie Fauset, "Rencontre" (1924)

My heart that was so passionless
Leapt high last night when I saw you!
Within me surged the grief of years
And whelmed me with its endless rue.
My heart that slept so still, so spent,
Awoke last night,—to break anew!
