Poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar
The Unsung Heroes
... Who gave them strength through the whole day's length, to fight for their native land, ...
Deacon Jones' Grievance
... Fust, the music they're be'n singin' ...
A Thanksgiving Poem
... Though we should strive years without end, ...
Winter Song
... Tho' cold is the blast and the snow-flakes are drifty ...
Spring Song
... What lark and breeze and bluebird sing, ...
Ere Sleep Comes Down To Soothe The Weary Eyes
... That say life's full of aches and tears and sighs, ...
Resignation
... If so be thou must crush me for thy use, ...
Growin' Gray
... Sence yore step was light an' yore hair was brown, ...
Till The Wind Gets Right
... There's a cloud jest givin' coolness, ...
Love And Grief
... And hastened with it, straightway, back to me, ...
Long Ago
... I 's leahned de prah's, so neat an' trim, ...
Blue
... Rain-crow des a-chucklin' ...
'Long To'Ds Night
... An' he 'mence to sing, 'dough wo'kin' putty nigh done made him dumb, ...
The Old Cabin
... An' hit wan't no time, twell, bless you, ...
My Sort O' Man
... What though the thousands sneer an' scoff, ...
