White men's children spread over the earth -- A rainbow suspending the drawn swords of birth, Uniting and blending the races in one -- The world man -- cosmopolite -- everyman's son! He channels the stream of the red blood and blue, Behold him! A Triton -- the peer of the two; Unriddle this riddle of 'outside in' -- White men's children in black men's skin. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO THE REV.
