Shaker, Why Don't You Sing? is author and poet Maya Angelou's fourth volume of poetry, published by Random House in 1983. It was published during one of the most productive periods in Angelou's career; she had written four autobiographies and published three other volumes of poetry up to that point.

In the night noisy with street cries and the triumph of amorous insects, I focus beyond those cacophonies for the anthem of your hands and swelling chest, for the perfect harmonies which are your lips.
