Langston Hughes
The
Christmas trees are almost all sold
And the
ones that are left go cheap
The
children almost all over town
Have almost
gone to sleep.
The
skyscraper lights on Christmas Eve
Have almost
all gone out
There’s
very little traffic
Almost no
one about.
Our town’s
almost as quiet
As
Bethlehem must have been
Before a
sudden angel chorus
Sang PEACE
ON EARTH
GOOD WILL
TO MEN!
Our old
Statue of Liberty
Looks down
almost with a smile
As the Island of Manhattan
Awaits the
morning of the Child.
