To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
While night comes on gently,
Night coming tenderly
Langston Hughes
Black like me.
Thatis my dream!
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening...
To fling my arms wide
Then rest at cool evening
Dream Variations
Beneath a tall tree
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Dark like me-
In the face of the sun,
A tall, slim tree...
