He wrote: Keep Me, Jesus, Keep Me (poem) Winter is Coming (poem) Keep Me, Jesus, Keep Me Keep me 'neath Thy mighty wing, Keep me, Jesus, keep me; Help me praise Thy Holy name, Keep me, Jesus, keep me. O my Lamb, come, my Lamb, O my good Lamb, Save me, Jesus, save me. Hear me as I cry to Thee; Keep me, Jesus, keep me; May I that bright glory see; Keep me, Jesus, keep me. O my Lamb, my good Lamb, O my good Lamb, Keep me, Jesus, keep me. Winter is Coming De winter days are drawin' nigh An' by the fire I sets an' sigh; De nothe'n win' is blowin' cold, Like it done in days of old. De yaller leafs are fallin' fas', Fur summer days is been an' pas'; The air is blowin' mighty cold, Like it done in days of old. De frost is fallin' on de gras' An' seem to say "Dis is yo' las'"—De air is blowin' mighty cold Like it done in days of old. ==Further reading== * Wagner, Jean, ''Black Poets of the United States.'' * Edwards, William James, ''Twenty Five Years in the Black Belt.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waverley Turner Carmichael」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
