Where can I find a poem whose first line begins Shall despise you that your colorless tears made rainbows in lashes and forgot to weep?

_Sonnet 3_ by _Countee Cullen_

_What can I add

To the sum of things, being

That my song

Is a feeble croon.

Shall the heavens despise you that your colorless tears

made rainbows in lashes

and forgot to weep?_

_Yet shall I weep, that the world must weep with me,

Lest the beauty die of its loneliness,

While you are a part of a song still unsung:

The last line still missing to make this verse complete.__
