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
