Paul Laurence Dunbar - A Love LetterPaul Laurence Dunbar - A Love Letter
Work rating: Low


OH, I des received a letter f`om de sweetest little gal; Oh, my; oh, my. She`s my lovely little sweetheart an` her name is Sal: Oh, my; oh, my. She writes me dat she loves me an` she loves me true, She wonders ef I`ll tell huh dat I loves huh, too; An` my heaht`s so full o` music dat I do` know what to do; Oh, my; oh, my. I got a man to read it an` he read it fine; Oh, my; oh, my. Dey ain` no use denying dat her love is mine; Oh, my; oh, my. But hyeah`s de t`ing dat`s puttin` me in such a awful plight, I t`ink of huh at mornin` an` I dream of huh at night; But how`s I gwine to cou`t huh w`en I do` know how to write? Oh, my; oh, my. My heaht is bubblin` ovah wid de t`ings I want to say; Oh, my; oh, my. An` dey`s lots of folks to copy what I tell `em fu` de pay; Oh, my; oh, my. But dey`s t`ings dat I`s a-t`inkin` dat is only fu` huh ears, An` I couldn`t lu`n to write `em ef I took a dozen years; So to go down daih an` tell huh is de only way, it `pears; Oh, my; oh, my.
