Poet
Paul Laurence Dunbar
Common Things
I like to hear of wealth and gold,
Encouraged
Because you love me I have much achieved,
Encouragement
WHO dat knockin' at de do'?
Life's Tragedy
It may be misery not to sing at all,
Little Brown Baby
Little brown baby wif spa'klin' eyes,
Merry Autumn
It's all a farce,—these tales they tell
My Little March Girl
Come to the pane, draw the curtain apart,
Summer in the South
The Oriole sings in the greening grove
Sympathy
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
