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 Ive seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset. Ive known rivers: Ancient, dusky rivers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers. 黑人说河 河，我懂 它与天地同老,它与血脉同龄 我的灵魂，恰似河深 幼发拉底河里,我畅游在年轻的黎明 刚果国里,有我的房屋 诱我熟睡，给我安身 尼罗河畔,我久久沉凝 我举起金字塔挂在天空 新奥尔良迎来了林肯 那一刻我听到了 密西西比河的歌声 泥泞的河床 在落日余辉里尽射出光明 河，我懂 古老而又朦胧 我的灵魂，恰似河深 Dreams 梦想 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. * * 兰斯顿·休斯是公认的“哈莱姆的桂冠诗人”，美国文学史上称他为“哈莱姆文艺复兴的中心人物”。他中学时代开始写诗，发挥诗人想象的处女作《黑人谈河流》发表后一举成名。 1960年代黑人领袖马丁·路德·金那篇流传至今、脍炙人口的《我有个梦想》跟休斯的关于“梦想”的诗歌有直接的联系。
