Drums                                                

By Langston Hughes                           

dream of the drums                         

And remember

Nights without stars in Africa.

 

Remember, remember, remember!

I dream of the drums

And remember

Slave ships, billowing sails,

The Western Ocean,

And the landing at Jamestown.

 

Remember, remember, remember!

 

I dream of drums

And recall, like a picture, 

Congo Square in New Orleans-

Sunday-the slaves’ one day of “freedom”

The juba-dance in Congo Square.

 

I dream of the drums

And hear again

Jelly Roll’s piano,

Buddy Bolden’s trumpet,

Kid Ory’s trombone,

St. Cyr’s bajo,

They join the drums…

And I remember.

 

Jazz!

 

I dream of the drums

And remember

 

Africa!

The ships!

New shore!

And drums!

 

Remember!

I remember!

Remember!
