The Dream - the Triolet Style
~The Dream~
( Triolet )
-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 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.
