Beautiful, also, is the sun.
My People, Langston Hughes
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.

I have almost forgotten my dream, Langston Hughes
It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun,
My dream.
The wind has undressed the moon, Langston Hughes
The moon is naked.
The wind has undressed the moon.
The wind has blown all the cloud-garments
Off the body of the moon
And now she’s naked,
Stark naked.
Langston Hughes (1902 – 1967), excerpt from March Moon in Selected Poems
Ancient, dusky rivers, Langston Hughes
I’ve known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
Hold fast to dreams, Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
