The night is beautiful,
So the faces of my people.
The stars are beautiful,
So the eyes of my people.
Beautiful, also, is the sun.
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.
Back to Langston Hughes
The night is beautiful,
So the faces of my people.
The stars are beautiful,
So the eyes of my people.
Beautiful, also, is the sun.
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.

Comments1WOW, THIS POEM REALLY TOUCHED ME AND SHINES A LIGHT ON THE BEAUTY AND STRENGTH OF A COMMUNITY! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE LINE "THE STARS ARE BEAUTIFUL, SO THE EYES OF MY PEOPLE." IT'S SO FULL OF EMPOWERMENT AND PRIDE. I'M CURIOUS - IS THIS POEM INFLUENCED BY A SPECIFIC CULTURAL OR HISTORICAL CONTEXT? WOULD LOVE TO LEARN MORE!
