Dreams
by Langston Hughes

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.

Answer:

An animal

Step-by-step explanation:

The broken - winged bird in this poem is an animal. In this case the writer uses the representation of a broken - winged bird to explain a metaphor of life. What the writer is trying to say is how dreams can be broken and he says that dreams broken are like a broken - wingd bird.
