Langston Hughes

Bouquet

Bouquet - meaning Summary

Songs Hurled at the Sun

The poem urges urgent creative action: collect the songs you know from darkness and cast them toward the sun before they disappear. It frames art and voice as fragile and transient, vulnerable to melting like snow, and emphasizes seizing the moment to make light or warmth from what you carry. The brief address suggests both individual resolve and a communal offering of beauty against loss.

Gather quickly Out of darkness All the songs you know And throw them at the sun Before they melt Like snow
