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.
