Poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar
To A Dead Friend
... And life's song with its rhythm warred ...
The Song
... Then there are trees, and lights and stars, ...
If
... I'd scorn the meed of battle's might, ...
The Death Of The First Born
... The look of the winter-kissed flow'r you've seen ...
The Quilting
... As she matches this and that, she stitches strand by strand ...
To Pfrimmer
... ") Driftwood gathered here and there ...
Appreciation
... Her eyes ist bore you through and through, ...
A Boy's Summer Song
... And so I say On a summer's day, ...
Yesterday And To-Morrow
... Pause, my soul, arise, arise, ...
The News
... Somep'n's gone wrong dat 's a-causin' you dread,-- ...
To The South
... Blood-washed, thou shouldst lift up thine honored head, ...
Love's Apotheosis
... That twain go up, of love, who 've loved their fill,-- ...
Vagrants
... Though still with every changing weather, ...
Rain-Songs
... THE rain streams down like harp-strings from the sky ...
The Party
... 'Twell de roostahs in de bahnyard cleahed deir th'oats an' crowed fu' day ...
