In the evening the city
Goes to bed
Hanging lights
Above its head.
Étiquette : night
Let us roam the night together, Langston Hughes
I love you.
Come,
Let us roam the night together
Singing.
Langston Hughes (1902 – 1967), excerpt from Harlem Night Song in Selected Poems
The night will never stay, Eleanor Farjeon
The night will never stay,
The night will still go by,
Though with a million stars
You pin it to the sky.
From The Night Will Never Stay by Eleanor Farjeon (1881 – 1965)
Kissing the moon, Langston Hughes
Tonight the waves march
In long ranks
Cutting the darkness
With their silver shanks,
Cutting the darkness
And kissing the moon.
Langston Hughes (1902 – 1967), excerpt from Moonlight Night : Carmel in Selected Poems
Rainy nights, Irene Thomson
I like the town on rainy nights
When everything is wet —
When all the town has magic lights
And streets of shining jet !
