We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hideS our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt wepay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myrad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only se us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O grat Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dram otherwise,
we wear the mask!

The mask symbolizes how blacks must hide who they really are to navigate in white society. ... The first line, “We wear the mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes” shows that they must “mask” how they really feel about their treatment in white society.
