1902 – 1967
„Drž sa svojich snov pevne: pretože ak sny zomrú, Život zostane ako vták so zlomenými krídlami, ktorý nemôže lietať. Drž sa svojich snov pevne, pretože ak sny zomrú, Život je neúrodným poľom zamrznutým pod snehom.“

„Hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
life is a broken-winged bird
that can not fly.

Hold fast to dreams
for when dreams go
life is a barren field
frozen with snow.“The Collected Poems

„Folks, I'm telling you,
birthing is hard
and dying is mean-
so get yourself
a little loving
in between.“

Death is for the dead.

And death a note unsaid.“The Collected Poems

„I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.“

„I loved my friend
He went away from me
There's nothing more to say
The poem ends,
Soft as it began-
I loved my friend.“

„Looks like what drives me crazy
Don't have no effect on you--
But I'm gonna keep on at it
Till it drives you crazy, too.“Selected Poems

„What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?“The Collected Poems

„I stay cool, and dig all jive,
That's the way I stay alive.
My motto,
as I live and learn,
is
Dig and be dug
In return.“

„Oh, God of Dust and Rainbows,
Help us to see
That without the dust the rainbow
Would not be.“

„I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.“
