Lit Pick: The Ring by Langston Hughes


The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes (Vintage Classics)
Title: The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes
Published: November 1994

The Ring
Love is the master of the ring
And life a circus tent.
What is this silly song you sing?
Love is the master of the ring.

I am afraid!
Afraid of Love
And of Love's bitter whip!
Afraid,
Afraid of Love
And Love's sharp, stinging whip.

What is this silly song you sing?
Love is the master of the ring.
