I came across this poem recently in Reading and Studying Literature and I fell in love with it.
"Harlem Dance Hall" by Langston Hughes
It had no dignity before.
But when the band began to play,
Suddenly the earth was there,
And flowers,
Trees,
And air,
And like a wave the floor -
That had no dignity before!
That's music for you. Well... for me, anyway.
