Notes About The Poem

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.
