(1871‚Äì1938). The Book of American Negro Poetry. 1922. The Creation AND God stepped out on space,And He looked around and said,“I’m lonely—I’ll make me a world.”And far as the eye of God could seeDarkness covered everything,Blacker than a hundred midnightsDown in a cypress swamp.Then God smiled,And the light broke,And the darkness rolled up on one side,And the light stood shining on the other,And God said, “That’s good!”Then God reached out and took the light in His hands,And God rolled the light around in His handsUntil He made the sun;And He set that sun a-blazing in the heavens.And the light that was left from making the sunGod gathered it up in a shining ballAnd flung it against the darkness,Spangling the night with the moon and stars.
