Lovely, dark, and lonely one lyrics
by Langston Hughes
[Verse 1]
Lovely, dark, and lonely one
Bare your bosom to the sun
Do not be afraid of light
You who are a child of night
[Verse 2]
Open wide your arms to life
Whirl in the wind of pain and strife
Face the wall with the dark closed gate
Beat with bare, brown fists–
And wait
