Longfellow, I found "The Slave's Dream":...<BR/><BR/>"Beside the ungathered rice he lay, <BR/> His sickle in his hand;<BR/>His breast was bare, his matted hair<BR/> Was buried in the sand." <BR/>You may enjoy. Also, The Slave in the Swamp and the song of Hiawather. I am a student, I live in New York. Have you ever been here?
