A figure of the Harlem Renaissance, Georgia Douglas Johnson wrote plays, a syndicated newspaper column, and four collections of poetry: The Heart of a Woman (1918), Bronze (1922), An Autumn Love Cycle (1928), and Share My World (1962).
The phantom happiness I sought O’er every crag and moor;I paused at every postern gate, And knocked at every door;
In vain I searched the land and sea, E’en to the inmost core,The curtains of eternal night Descend—my search is o’er.
