Poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar
The Colored Soldiers
... There they pressed unblanched and fearless ...
A Musical
... And still above the other strains, ...
The Making Up
... Let's don't play and cry, it's too much like true, ...
At Candle-Lightin' Time
... Jes, you go to baid, an' leave him: say yo' prayers an' say good-night ...
Wadin' In De Crick
... Seems lak dese hyeah teachahs ...
Nora: A Serenade
... If the strength of my passion should make me too bold ...
Itching Heels
... But hit seems lak you brings me de bref o' my youf ...
My Sweet Brown Gal
... Case I knows w'en evenin' draps huh shadders down, ...
A Back-Log Song
... Oh, dey ain't no time fu' stoppin' an' dey ain't no time fu' res', ...
Misapprehension
... And one who claimed much love for what I wrought, ...
Roses
... One came from thy kingdom, thy realm of delight, ...
The Sum
... And peace at last,--and that is death ...
Slow Through The Dark
... Who, faithless, faltering that the road is steep, ...
Comparison
... Thro' all his life, of love or light, ...
Weltschmertz
... The mourning, pale-flowered hearse goes by, ...
