Because my mouth <br />Is wide with laughter <br />And my throat <br />Is deep with song, <br />You do not think <br />I suffer after <br />I have held my pain <br />So long? <br /> <br />Because my mouth <br />Is wide with laughter, <br />You do not hear <br />My inner cry? <br />Because my feet <br />Are gay with dancing, <br />You do not know <br />I die?<br /><br />Langston Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/minstrel-man/
