The pianist in “the weary blues” was playing sadly with feeling when he makes the piano “moan with melody.”
"The Weary Blues" is a poem by American poet Langston Hughes.
At the beginning, the setting of the poem is unclear. However, later on it is obvious the speaker of the poem is in a bar. The speaker is telling a story. He starts by setting the mood with an alliteration.
The Weary Blues” is written in free verse; however, all the lines that are not lyrics to the Weary Blues are rhyming couplets.
