Black Burden by Una Marson
Black Burden
Una Marson
I AM black,
And so I must be
More clever than white folk,
More wise than white folk,
More discreet than white folk,
More courageous than white folk.
I am black,
And I have got to travel
Even farther than white folk,
For time moves on
I must not laugh too much,
They say black folk can only laugh;
I must not weep too much,
They say black folk weep always;
I must not pray too much,
They say black folk can only pray.
I am black,
What a burden lies
Upon my heart For I would see
All my race
Holding hands
In the world circle.
Black girl-what a burden But your shoulders
Are broad.
Black girl-what a burden But your courage is strong Black girl, your burden
Will fall from your shoulders,
For there is love
In your soul
And a song
In your heart
