AfroPoets Famous Writers
Street Lamps in Early Spring
Night wears a garment
All velvet soft, all violet blue...
And over her face she draws a veil
As shimmering fine as floating dew...
And here and there
In the black of her hair
The subtle hands of Night
Move slowly with their gem-starred light.
Written by Gwendolyn Bennett (1902-1981)
