Additional quotes by Langston Hughes

While over Alabama earth These words are gently spoken: Serve — and hate will die unborn. Love — and chains are broken.

I loved my friend
He went away from me
There's nothing more to say
The poem ends,
Soft as it began-
I loved my friend.

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.
