Dreams
Dreams
By Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Question: What is life compared to in the two metaphors in this
poem?
Question: Suppose you do hold onto your dreams. Using the
same metaphors, how might Langston Hughes describe
life then?
