I too sing america
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes.
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow
I'll sit at the table
When company comes
Nobody'll dare Say to me,
'Eat in the kitchen'
Then.
Besides, they'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed,--
I, too, am America
