Incident Countee Cullen (1925) Once riding in old Baltimore, Heart-filled, head-filled with glee, I saw a Baltimorean Keep looking straight at me.

I saw the whole of Baltimore From May until December; f all the things that happened there That's all that I remember. Lewis, David L. //The Portable Harlem Renaissance Reader//.
