Paul Laurence Dunbar - A Death Song
Work rating: Medium

Lay me down beneaf de willers in de grass,
Whah de branch `ll go a-singin` as it pass.
          An` w`en I`s a-layin` low,
          I kin hyeah it as it go
Singin`, "Sleep, my honey, tek yo` res` at las`."

Lay me nigh to whah hit meks a little pool,
An` de watah stan`s so quiet lak an` cool,
          Whah de little birds in spring,
          Ust to come an` drink an` sing,
An` de chillen waded on dey way to school.

Let me settle w`en my shouldahs draps dey load
Nigh enough to hyeah de noises in de road;
          Fu` I t`ink de las` long res`
          Gwine to soothe my sperrit bes`
Ef I`s layin` `mong de t`ings I`s allus knowed.
