After Many Springs (Langston Hughes)





Now,
In June,
When the night is a vast softness
Filled with blue stars,
And broken shafts of moon-glimmer
Fall upon the earth,
Am I too old to see the fairies dance?
I cannot find them any more.

(I knowww, I should've used this poem for the June post, but I JUST discovered it. It's a pretty piece, yes? I have a bit of a particular bias for the mention of fairies x3)
