To a Dead Friend’ by Langston Hughes is a short, emotionally charged poem that addresses the disparity between grief and the indifferent, sometimes painfully cheerful world surrounding it.The moon still sends its mellow light Through the purple blackness of the night; The morning star is palely bright before dawn.The sun still shines just as before; The rose still grows beside my door, But you have gone.The sky is blue and the robin sings; The butterflies dance on rainbow wings Though I am sad.In all the earth no joy can be; Happiness comes no more to me, For you are dead.5Mark for ReviewMCQABCWhich choice best describes the purpose of the text?ATo show that the poet is mourning for his dear friend.BTo suggest the idea that death doesn’t stop for the loss of the poet's dear friend.
