The Dream

~A tribute to “The Slave's Dream” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~ One night the slave had a nice dream. And in the dream he was just free. He heard sounds of freedom's bold scream. One night the slave had a nice dream. And saw the light of liberty's gleam. No more felt flesh by whips just bleed. One night the slave had a nice dream. And in the dream he was just free.
