Poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar
W'en I Gits Home
... Home whaih de frien's I loved 'll say, ...
L'Envoi
... The marvel of the earth's designs,-- ...
A Lost Dream
... When days were bleak and winds were rude, ...
The Old Apple-Tree
... For its boughs are gnarled an' crooked, ...
Jilted
... Goes back on you clean an' cleah-- ...
Angelina
... Folks jes' stan' stock-still a-sta'in', an' dey mos' nigh hol's dey bref ...
In the Morning
... Dis hyeah clock done struck off six- ...
A Summer's Night
... With lamps to light their wayward footsteps home, ...
She Told Her Beads
... My heart was filled with unvoiced cries ...
Scamp
... Den hit's come let me undress you, now ...
A Florida Night
... Mule, you need n't wake him w'en you switch an' stomp, ...
The Sand-Man
... I KNOW a man With face of tan, ...
The Sparrow
... With deadened heart and sense plod on, ...
An Ante-Bellum Sermon
... 'T well de Lawd got tiahed o' his foolin', ...
To The Memory Of Mary Young
... cannot he, Who made it, solve the mystery ...
