Read the excerpt from "My Cityâ by James Weldon Johnson.
But, ah! Manhattan's sights and sounds, her smells,
Her crowds, her throbbing force, the thrill that comes
From being of her a part, her subtle spells,
Her shining towers, her avenues, her slumsâ
O God! the stark, unutterable pity,
To be dead, and never again behold my city!
