I get great joy to read this Poem my favourite from my High School days.

I learnt this poem many years ago at school in Jamaica, I eft Jamaica in 1964. I have always loved Claude Mckay's poetry absolutely wonderful, takes me back to my wonderful childhood years.

Stll remember my 5 for twenty against Holmwood.

Simple, poignant, painfully lovely

so much have I forgotten in ten short years...

A trip down memory lane. M. Walker.

Excellent. M.Walker.

This poem brings back memories - Strange, but still remember the beating the entire grade 5 class of 74' @ St. Judes Primary (Jamaica) would get for not reciting it properly with expression and all.

I learnt this poem as child in jamaica over thirty- five years ago. It brings back so many memories. Claude Mcakay always rekindles my love of nostalgic poems.
