The 1st Day Of Black History Month: Happy Birthday, Langston

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Langston Hughes
born: February 1, 1902
died: May 22,1967

To fling my arms open wide
In some place in the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me--
That is my dream!

To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun,
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening...
A tall, slim tree...
Night coming tenderly
Black like me
