"The Tropics in New York" by Claude McKay Ripe green bananas and ginger root.

Of fruit trees laden with streams that sing low,

And dewy sunrises and mystical blue skies

In blessing on hills like nuns.

A wave of longing ran through my body,

And hungry for the old familiar ways

I turned to the side, bowed my head, and cried.
