  5. I HEAR AMERICA SINGING BY WALT WHITMAN I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong, The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,

  6. I HEAR AMERICA SINGING BY WALT WHITMAN The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work, The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck, The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands...

  7. I, Too by Langston Hughes 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.

  8. I, Too by Langston Hughes Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen”, Then.

  9. I, Too by Langston Hughes Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed- I, too, am America.
