CLARISSA SCOTT DELANY. (1901-1927)
Poet, essayist, educator, social worker
Associated with the Harlem Renaissance
Had 4 poems published
Poems were allegorical in nature
JOY
Joy shakes me like the wind that lifts the sail
Like the roistering wind
That laughs through stalwart pines
It floods me like the sun
On rain-drenched trees
That flash with silver and green.
I abandon myself to joy
I laugh-I sing,
Too long have I walked a desolate way
Too long stumbled down a maze
Bewildered.
