plz help! what poem relates to the book "their eyes were watching God"?

Answer 1

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings


The free bird leaps
on the back of the win
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

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

The free bird thinks of another breeze
an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

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

Maya Angelou

Answer 2

Grace and innocence are concepts
For other people; know it's not for me.
Leave security for happiness is a precept
I have, which I learned will set me free.

Yuh know life's got twist and turns
Yuh cain't see till youse deep in 'em?
Yuh got to keep lookin' for the lanterns
To the livin' yuh wants to become.

It's hard but it's fun and it's pleasure
To go look for yuh life on yuh own
Even when it's short, if it be yuh leasure
You'll not regret walkin' t'ward the unknown
