gwendolyn brooks - old laughter lyrics
Loading...
the men and women long ago
in africa, in africa
knew all there was of joy to know
in sunny africa
the sp+ces flew from tree to tree
the spices trifled in the air
that carelessly
fondled the twisted hair
the men and women richly sang
in land of gold and green and red
the bells of merriment richly rang
but richness is long dead
old laughter chilled, old music done
in bright, bewildered africa
the bamboo and the cinnamon
are sad in africa
