Langston Hughes Poems
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
...
It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
...
Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
...
Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
...
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--

Langston Hughes Quotes
Babies and gin and church And women and Sunday All mixed with dimes and Dollars and clean spittoons And house rent to pay.
Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.
Brown sugar lassie, Caramel treat, Honey-gold baby Sweet enough to eat. Peach-skinned girlie,
They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed— I, too, am America.
I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes,
Langston Hughes Comments

Poem for Langston Hughes Thunder is seldom so soft as when his sounds are spoken. That bird climbs on to life- to life! Its wings have never broken. Those wings will take it to a place where crystal stairs have passed. That barren field of frozen snow will flourish with dreams at last. Hold fast! Hold fast.!
