Text

Harlem Night Song
by Langston Hughes

Come,
Let us roam the night together
Singing.

I love you.

Across
The Harlem roof-tops
Moon is shining.
Night sky is blue.
Stars are great drops
Of Golden dew.

Down the street
A band is playing.

I love you.

Come,
Let us roam the night together
Singing.
