Poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar
At Cheshire Cheese
... But change has come and time has moved, ...
Compensation
... And sung with such faltering breath, ...

Whittier
... Doth count their lives of too great worth ...

... That grew from life's debased estate, ...
At Lofting-Holt
... Do you dread the ice-clad streams, ...
The Stirrup Cup
... And let the soldiers' chorus swell,-- ...
A Spiritual
... Dey 's a moughty One a-comin' fu' to baih yo' load ...
Douglass
... Now, when the waves of swift dissension swarm, ...
Hunting Song
... Fros' an' de 'simmons has made you grow fas',-- ...
The Debt
... Slight was the thing I bought, ...
Love's Chastening
... And Love, pride purged, was chastened all his life ...
The Poet And The Baby
... And this muse he loves, not wisely, but too well ...
The Mystic Sea
... Death's way will be plain when we fathom the main, ...
