A Brown Girl Dead
Read 'A Brown Girl Dead' by 'Countee Cullen' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
With two white roses on her breasts,
White candles at head and feet,
Dark Madonna of the grave she rests;
Lord Death has found her sweet.
Her mother pawned her wedding ring
To lay her out in white;
She'd be so proud she'd dance and sing
to see herself tonight.
