Dream Variations
By Langston Hughes
To fling my arms wide in some place of 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!
Rest at pale evening…A tall, slim tree…Night coming tenderly, Black like me.
