![“I am black but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am black For the Sun hat hath looked upon me. My mother’s children were angry with me, They made me the keeper of the vineyards But my own vineyard have I not kept. [79]” quote by Sol T.
