African American Poetry: A Digital Anthology

Langston Hughes, "A Farewell" (1926)

With gypsies and sailors,
Wanderers of the hills and seas,
I go to seek my fortune.
With pious folk and fair
I must have a parting.
But you will not miss me,--
You who live between the hills
And have never seen the seas.
