Explore "Minstrel Man" by Langston Hughes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Because my mouth / Is wide with laughter / And my throat / Is deep with song, / You do not think / I suffer after / I have held my pain / So long.
Because my mouth / Is wide with laughter, / You do not hear / My inner cry, / Because my feet / Are gay with dancing, / You do not know / I die.
