Dreams By Langston Hughes

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.

Summary: In this poem, the speaker tells the readers to hold their dreams firmly. The people who don’t have dreams are like broken-winged birds. Broken-winged birds cannot fly in the sky. In the same way, the people who don’t have dreams can’t succeed in life. The people who don’t have dreams lead an infertile and unproductive life.

The School Boy Summary

  'The Schoolboy' Answer : The speaker of the poem   tells the readers about his disliking to school. Children generally love a summer morning, birds' chirping, huntsmen's horns and skylarks' songs.
