Explore "Danse Africaine" by Langston Hughes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The low beating of the tom-toms, / The slow beating of the tom-toms, / Low. slow / Slow. low --
Stirs your blood.
Dance!
A night-veiled girl / Whirls softly into a / Circle of light.
Whirls softly... slowly, / Like a wisp of smoke around the fire --
And the tom-toms beat, / And the tom-toms beat, / And the low beating of the tom-toms / Stirs your blood.
