Black Woman
- Editor's Note
- Don’t knock at my door, little child,
- I cannot let you in.
- You know not what a world this is
- Of cruelty and sin.
- Wait in the still eternity
- Until I come to you,
- The world is cruel, cruel, child,
I cannot let you in!
- Don’t knock at my heart, little one,
- I cannot bear the pain
- Of turning deaf-ear to your call
- Time and time again!
- You do not know the monster men
- Inhabiting the earth.
- Be still, be still, my precious child,
- I must not give you birth!
