My Favorite Lanqston Huqhes Poetry Quotes

The Negro Speaks Of Rivers:
“My Soul has grown weary like the rivers”

Miss Blues’es Child:
“If the Blues would let me, Lord knows
I, would smile, If the Blues would let me
I, would smile, smile, smile!

Me and The Mule:

“My ole’ mule, He’s got a grin on his face.
He’s been a mule so long, He’s forgot about his race!
I’m, like that ole’ mule, Black and don’t give a damn!
You got to take me ,like I am!”

The Negro Mother:

“Three-hundred years in the deepest South
But, God put a song and a prayer in my mouth.
God, put a dream like steel in my soul.
Now, through my children, I’m reaching the goal!”

I, Too:

“I, too sing America!”
Brenda Scott

Negro Lady Speaks

I do the things Negroes do
   White folks say good morning
      I say good morning and hello too!
         Listen!  I was born a Negro and I’m gonna stay this way.
            I’m married to a white-man, hey that’s O.K.
               I still love my people and plead their case
                   Don’t count me out this Afro-American Race...
