Langston Hughes

Many poems written by American poet Langston Hughes (February 1, 1902– May 22, 1967) used dreams as a theme. Here is one of them for your consideration.

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

--Langston Hughes
