Midnight Poetry: “Quiet Girl”
Quiet Girl
(Langston Hughes)
(Langston Hughes)
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.
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.
