I couldn't write. <br>I had nothing, back there in the night. <br>Sometimes, the valley was filled with tears, <br>But I kept trudging on through the lonely years. <br>Sometimes, the road was hot with the sun, <br>But I had to keep on till my work was done: <br>I had to keep on! No stopping for me -- <br>I was the seed of the coming Free. <br>I nourished the dream that nothing could smother <br>Deep in my breast -- the Negro mother. <br>I had only hope then , but now through you, <br>Dark ones of today, my dreams must come true: <br>All you dark children in the world out there, <br>Remember my sweat, my pain, my despair. <br>Remember my years, heavy with sorrow -- <br>And make of those years a torch for tomorrow. <br>Make of my pass a road to the light <br>Out of the darkness, the ignorance, the night. <br>Lift high my banner out of the dust. <br>Stand like free men supporting my trust. <br>Believe in the right, let none push you back. <br>Remember the whip and the slaver's track. <br>Remember how the strong in struggle and strife <br>Still bar you the way, and deny you life -- <br>But march ever forward, breaking down bars. <br>Look ever upward at the sun and the stars. <br>Oh, my dark children, may my dreams and my prayers <br>Impel you forever up the great stairs -- <br>For I will be with you till no white brother <br>Dares keep down the children of the Negro Mother.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Langston+Hughes">Langston Hughes</a><div class=q>

To tell you a story of the long dark way 
That I had to climb, that I had to know 
In order that the race might live and grow. 
Look at my face -- dark as the night -- 
Yet shining like the sun with love's true light. ..."></div>
