Explore "Love Song for Lucinda" by Langston Hughes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Love / Is a ripe plum / Growing on a purple tree.
Taste it once / And the spell of its enchantment / Will never let you be.
Love / Is a bright star / Glowing in far Southern skies.
Look too hard / And its burning flame / Will always hurt your eyes.
Love / Is a high mountain / Stark in a windy sky.
If you / Would never lose your breath / Do not climb too high.
