The Negro Speaks of Rivers

Lyrics
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
