She enters late; her step is proud —
Aloof. She draws her ermine cloak
Tighter, as to keep the crowd
Away — for there are colored folk.
She does not see this dusky child
With woolen shawl about her throat,
Whose deep brown eyes are sad and wild
As music sings of lands remote.
This piece originally appeared in New Strung Bow, a book of poems written by Sarah Lawrence students that was published in 1932.
