The Riddle

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.
