Langston Hughes, "Poem ["We Have Tomorrow..."]" (1926)
1926 version (The Weary Blues):
We have tomorrow
Bright before us
Like a flame.
Yesterday
A night-gone thing,
A sun-down name.
And dawn-today
Broad arch above the road we came.
1925 Version (Survey Graphic):
We have to-morrow
Bright before us
Like a flame
Yesterday, a night-gone thing
A sun-down name
And dawn to-day
Broad arch above the road we came,
We march!
