Poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar
Kidnaped
... And sings (Oh, love is ever young), ...
The Visitor
... Des set down, you blessed chile, ...
Chrismus On The Plantation
... "Praise God," an' den we all jined in, "from whom all blessin's flow!" ...
A Song (#3)
... Nor the swart maid from her swarthier swain ...
To Louise
... Than to breathe the rich fragrance of flowers that bide ...
Song Of Summer
... Whole flocks o' camp-meetin' crows ...
A Madrigal
... Or teach this tongue the singer's soulful art ...
Spring Fever
... Bless yo' soul, de bedclothes ...
To E. H. K.
... So, tho' the pregnant years have come and flown, ...
Advice
... Dough hit cracks yo' features, ...
Confessional
... Naught shalt thou find ...
The Garret
... When debts have grown and funds are short, ...
A Winter's Day
... Dark streams are locked in Winter's donjon-keep, ...
Christmas In The Heart
... And here and there, like pearls, there show ...
Possession
... But I'll keep a-trottin', while you lead on, ...
