The Langston Hughes poem warns us that “when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow.” The message is one to live by, and as can be expected of this composer, the music is special.

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.

Langston Hughes
