The correct answer is A) the song lyrics in the “Weary Blues” reflect a heavy load from the singer.

The line “sags like a heavy load” in “Harlem” relates to the overall feeling because the song lyrics in the “Weary Blues” reflect a heavy load from the singer.

Langston Hughes is the author of the song “Harlem”. The line “sags like a heavy load” that song relates to the overall feeling because the song lyrics reflect a heavy load from the singer. The song starts with the line “What happens to a dream deferred?” The songwriter tries to answer the question in the next lines. Finally, at the end of the song, he adds “maybe it just sags like a heavy load…Ori t just explodes”

Langston Hughes’ successful album “The Weary Blues”, was released in 1926.
