In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Langston Hughes - A Major Figure in Harlem Renaissance
Langston Hughes published more than 30 books. He started with poetry and then expanded into novels, short stories, plays and personal memories.
He was one of the leaders of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. During the Harlem Renaissance, African-American literature, art and music grew quickly in New York City.
Langston Hughes continued writing into the 1960s. His work often spoke plainly about the difficult lives of black people living in big cities.
This poem is called Mother to Son.
Well son, Ill tell you:
Life for me aint been no crystal stair.
Its had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor
Bare.
But all the time
