her blackness very black and dazzling was like a magnet that drew his sight
her smooth sleekness soon became his exotic delight
in the rue de la nuit in paris that night
she might not forget this stranger, as she has the others, who is loving her with such tender passion
who had spent his last francs in the ancient transaction
he would never forget her
her name madeleine
from the island of guadalupe
her blackness black as the blackest black
her smooth sleekness a hand's velvet track
in the rue de la nuit in paris that night
where he first tasted the beauty of black
and never to the paler side did ever go "back"
