Langston Hughes: To a Black Dancer in The Little Savoy

Wine Maiden


To a Black Dancer in "The Little Savoy"
by Langston Hughes

Wine-Maiden
Of the jazz-tuned night,
Lips
Sweet as purple dew,
Breasts
Like the pillows of all sweet dreams'
Who crushed
The grapes of joy
And dripped their juice
On you?
