“I Shall Return” by Claude McKay (questions 1-4) I shall return again. I shall return

To laugh and love and watch with wonder-eyes

At golden noon the forest fires burn

Wafting their blue-black smoke to sapphire skies.

5 I shall return to loiter by streams

That bathe the brown blades of the bending grasses, And realize once more my thousand dreams

Of waters rushing down the mountain passes.

I shall return to hear the fiddle and fife

10 Of village dances, dear delicious tunes

That stir the hidden depths of native life, Stray melodies of dim-remembered runes.

I shall return. I shall return again

To ease my mind of long, long years of pain.
