I’m not sure what I was expecting or when I added this to my tbr but it was an okay collection of poems. I enjoyed the elements of nature but I wasn’t expecting such a religious tone. A lot of them also read like nursery rhymes to me. I liked the contrast between songs of innocence and songs of experience. Throughout the entire collection I think there was one poem, The Little Black Boy, that I think didn’t age well, as the premise is rooted in a lot of colorism.
