C
“Harlem” is short and happy, while “The Weary Blues” is longer and lyrical.
D
“Harlem” is short and content, while “The Weary Blues” is longer and unhappy.

Explanation

“Harlem” is a brief poem made up of tightly compressed questions and images, creating an urgent, tense effect. “The Weary Blues” is longer and uses a more lyrical, songlike structure, including musical rhythms and repeated phrases. So the best comparison is that “Harlem” is short and urgent, while “The Weary Blues” is longer and lyrical.
