: 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.

: Listen to Langston Hughes
