Aunt Sue's Stories
by Langston Hughes
Aunt Sue has a head full of stories.
Aunt Sue has a whole heart full of stories.
Summer nights on the front porch
Aunt Sue cuddles a brown-faced child to her bosom
And tells him stories.
Black slaves
Working in the hot sun,
And black slaves
Walking in the dewy night,
And black slaves
Singing sorrow songs on the banks of a mighty river
Mingle themselves softly
In the flow of old Aunt Sue's voice,
Mingle themselves softly
In the dark shadows that cross and recross
Aunt Sue's stories.
And the dark-faced child, listening,
Knows that Aunt Sue's stories are real stories.
He knows that Aunt Sue never got her stories
Out of any book at all,
But that they came
Right out of her own life.
The dark-faced child is quiet
Of a summer night
Listening to Aunt Sue's stories.
We Wear the Mask
Related Poem Content Details
BYÂ PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR
We wear the mask that grins and lies,Â
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—Â
This debt we pay to human guile;Â
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,Â
And mouth with myriad subtleties.Â
Â
Why should the world be over-wise,Â
In counting all our tears and sighs?Â
Nay, let them only see us, whileÂ
      We wear the mask.Â
Â
We smile, but, O great Christ, our criesÂ
To thee from tortured souls arise.Â
We sing, but oh the clay is vileÂ
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;Â
But let the world dream otherwise,Â
      We wear the mask!
