Young Negro Girl.(Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker
Young Negro Girl.(Translation) .
Tu te ressembles a un crepuscule chaud
Au milieu du mois de juin
Lorsque les premieres violettes
Ont presque oublie leur noms
Et les roses d'un rouge sombre fleurissent.
Tu te ressembles a un crepuscule chaud et noir
Au milieu du mois de juin
Avant que les nuits tres chaudes d'ete
Brulent blanches d'etoiles.
- 'Young Negro Girl'.Langston Hughes. From 'The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes', op. cit., p.234.(Poems 1921-1930) .
Hughes sketches in the portrait of the young negro girl, and gives the nod to youth and beauty. Very successful, I find.
