Bronze (Johnson)/Black Woman
BLACK WOMAN
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 painOf 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!
