Quiet Girl

I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.


-- Langston Hughes

  2. The Dream Keeper

    Bring me all of your dreams,
    You dreamer,
    Bring me all your
    Heart melodies
    That I may wrap them
    In a blue cloud-cloth
    Away from the too-rough fingers
    Of the world.

    --Langston Hughes
