The Reward

Title:     The Reward
Author: James Weldon Johnson [More Titles by Johnson]

No greater earthly boon than this I crave,
That those who some day gather 'round my grave,
In place of tears, may whisper of me then,
"He sang a song that reached the hearts of men."

[The end]
James Weldon Johnson's poem: Reward
