African American Poetry: A Digital Anthology

Langston Hughes, "Soledad: A Cuban Portrait" (1925)

The shadows
Of too many nights of love
Have fallen beneath your eyes.
Your eyes,
So full of pain and passion,
So full of lies.
So full of pain and passion,
Soledad,
So deeply scarred,
So still with silent cries.
