Women of the Early Harlem Renaissance: African American Women Writers 1900-1922

Modulations

The petals of the faded rose
   Commingle silently,
One with the atoms of the dust,
   One with the chaliced sea. -
 
The essence of my fleeting youth
   Caught in the web of time,
Exhales within the springing flowers
   Or breathes in love sublime.
