Poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar
A Lyric
... If Fate hath meant you heart for heart, ...
Poor Withered Rose
... And though thy life goes out in dole, ...
Morning Song Of Love
... The offerings, the sacrifice, the prayers, the chants are thine, ...
The Farm House By The River
... And that sweet life my heart shall mourn ...
From The Porch At Runnymede
... Sweet song of birds, of wings the soothing whirr, ...
My Corn-Cob Pipe
... It 's as sweet as are the orchards when the fruit is hanging ripe, ...
A Banjo Song
... Yet dere's times when I furgit 'em, ...
A Roadway
... And prick themselves to haste with self-made goads, ...
Lincoln
... 'Till, stirring with the love that filled his breast, ...
A Farm House by the River
... That nature's hand could giver her, ...
The Capture
... 'Sh! keep still and don't you talk! ...
How Shall I Woo Thee
... The strength and the sweetness might charm and persuade, ...
Retrospection
... And from our hearts this cry was wrung ...
Inspiration
... " Then a breath of soft perfume, ...
Love's Castle
... And what will you do when the King comes ...
