Excerpt from The Negro and His Songs: A Study of Typical Negro Songs in the South Jeffries, dwelling on the mystery and beauty of the esh, on the sensitive elegance of nature and the soul, or like Wordsworth's man-to-man poet, there will be many who dissent from such a judgment of crude creative effort.
