I know why the caged bird sings, ah --methreeshe,

When his wing is bruised and his bosom --soreroarshore,—

When he beats his bars and he would be free;

It is not a carol of joy or --feegleeknee,

But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core, --roarcoredrawer,

But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—

I know why the caged bird --bringssingsking's!
