Description

Poem by LANGSTON HUGHES
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now
For I’se still goin’, honey

has been a climbing on and reaching landings and turning corners and sometimes going in the dark where there ain't been no light. So boy, don't you turn your back? Don't you sit down on the steps because you find it kind of hard. Don't you fall now? But I still gone. Honey are still climbing and laugh at me. Ain't been no crystals there?
