Paul Laurence Dunbar - A Warm Day In Winter
Work rating: Low

"SUNSHINE on de medders,
Greenness on de way;
Dat`s de blessed reason
I sing all de day."
Look hyeah! Whut you axin`?
Whut meks me so merry?
`Spect to see me sighin`
W`en hit`s wa`m in Febawary?
`Long de stake an` rider
Seen a robin set;
W`y, hit `mence a-thawin`,
Groun` is monst`ous wet.
Den you stan` dah wond`rin`,
`Lookin` skeert an` stary;
I`s a right to caper
W`en hit`s wa`m in Febawary.
Missis gone a-drivin`,
Mastah gone to shoot;
Ev`ry da`ky lazin`
In de sun to boot.
Qua`tah`s moughty pleasant,
Hangin` `roun` my Mary;
Cou`tin` boun` to prospah
W`en hit`s wa`m in Febawary.
Cidah` look so pu`ty,
Po`in` f`om de jug—
Don` you see it`s happy?
Hyeah it laffin` — glug?
Now`s de time fu` people
Fu` to try an` bury
All dey grief an` sorrer,
W`en hit`s wa`m in Febawary.
