Text:

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.

Langston Hughes

From The Weary Blues (Alfred A. Knopf, 1926) by Langston Hughes. This poem is in the public domain.
