Answer:

In this poem, Countee Cullen (1903-1946) uses irony to reveal the ridiculous beliefs that support racism. The notion of a woman, presumably a white woman, firmly believing that, even in Heaven, her class status, based on discriminatory biases that should not be considered godly, will provide her with poor blacks to do everything for her while she sleeps.

Explanation:

There´s also an allusion to biblical notions through the words "heaven," "celestial chores," and "cherubs," signifying the existence of a spiritual afterlife, in which,  this woman seems to absurdly believe racism prevails.
