: The Negro Speaks of Rivers : Langston Hughes : : I've known rivers: : I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the : flow of human blood in human veins. : My soul has grown deep like the rivers. : I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young. : I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep. : I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. : I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln : went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy : bosom turn all golden in the sunset. : I've known rivers: : Ancient, dusky rivers. : My soul has grown deep like the rivers. : <A href="hughesrivers.mpg">Listen to Langston Hughes</a>
