Three Dream Portraits: 3. I, Too lyrics
by Langston Hughes
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
