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.
To fling my arms wideIn some place of the sun,To whirl and to danceTill the white day is done.Then rest at cool eveningBeneath a tall treeWhile night comes on gently,Dark like me,--That is my dream!To fling my arms wideIn the face of the sun,Dance! whirl! whirl!Till the quick day is done.Rest at pale evening....A tall, slim tree....Night coming tenderly
