Langston Hughes

“The Negro Speaks of Rivers”



I’ve known rivers:
I’ve known rivers ancient as the world and older than then 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 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.

(1921)
