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.** (Imagery)

**Tomorrow** (meaning more like in future years, in future than directly the next day) **,**

**I'll be at the table**

**When company comes.**

**Nobody'll dare**

**Say to me,**

**"Eat in the kitchen,"** __ (Imagery) __

Then.

Besides,

They'll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed--

**I, too, am America.** (Personification)
