Quotes by Paul Laurence Dunbar
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
Fu' I t'ink de las' long res' Gwine to soothe my sperrit bes' If I's layin' 'mong de t'ings I's allus knowed.
It is not a carol of joy or glee, But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,...
Lay me down beneaf de willers in de grass, Whah de branch'll go a-singin' as it pass.
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core.
And that is life.
