I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and is tune is heard
on the distant hillfor the caged bird
sings of freedom

Maya Angelou is preaching about the hopes of slaves getting freedom. She is saying that the slaves don't know what lies ahead but they are hopeful that it is something good.
