Explore "Poème D'Automne" by Langston Hughes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The autumn leaves / Are too heavy with color.
The slender trees / On the Vulcan Road / Are dressed in scarlet and gold / Like young courtesans / Waiting for their lovers.
But soon / The winter winds / Will strip their bodies bare / And then / The sharp, sleet-stung / Caresses of the cold / Will be their only / Love.
