howard swanson – the negro speaks of rivers lyrics
Loading...
i’ve known rivers:
i’ve known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow
of human blood in human veins
my soul has grown deep like the rivers
i bathed in the euphrates when dawns were young
i built my hut near the congo and it lulled me to sleep
i looked upon the nile and raised the pyramids above it
i heard the singing of the mississippi when abe lincoln went down
to new orleans and i’ve seen its muddy bosom turn all golden
in the sunset
i’ve known rivers:
ancient, dusky rivers
my soul has grown deep like the rivers
