The Negro Speaks of Rivers

The Negro Speaks of Rivers 

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 Eupharates when dawns were young. 

I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.

I looked upon the Nile and raised 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.


- Langston Hughes
