Explore "Prayer for a Winter Night" by Langston Hughes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O, Great God of Cold and Winter, / Wrap the earth in an icy blanket / And freeze the poor in their beds.
All those who haven't enough cover / To keep them warm, / Nor food enough to keep them strong --
Freeze, dear God.
Let their limbs grow stiff / And their hearts cease to beat, / Then tomorrow / They'll wake up in some rich kingdom of nowhere / Where nothingness is everything and / Everything is nothingness.
