There is a famous poem with that precise theme: "Richard Corey," by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Worse luck, in the poem there is no evidence bearing on Richard Corey's heritage. Has your memory played a trick? Or, what is more likely, am I simply ignorant about African American poetry, and do I have the wrong poem in mind?
Richard Corey
WHENEVER Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich-yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
