    Langston Hughes: “Jazzonia” Oh‚ silver tree!
Oh‚ shining rivers of the soul! In a Harlem cabaret
Six long-headed jazzers play. A dancing girl whose eyes are bold Lifts high a dress of silken gold. Oh‚ singing tree!

Oh‚ silver rivers of the soul! In a whirling cabaret
Six long-headed jazzers play. Langston Hughes wrote “Jazzonia” in the 1920s
