Paul Laurence Dunbar - To The Eastern ShorePaul Laurence Dunbar - To The Eastern Shore
Work rating: Low


I`S feelin` kin` o` lonesome in my little room to-night, An` my min`s done los` de minutes an` de miles, W`ile it teks me back a-flyin` to de country of delight, Whaih de Chesapeake goes grumblin` er wid smiles. Oh, de ol` plantation`s callin` to me, Come, come back, Hyeah`s de place fu` you to labouh an` to res`, Fu` my sandy roads is gleamin` w`ile de city ways is black; Come back, honey, case yo` country home is bes`. I know de moon is shinin` down erpon de Eastern sho`, An` de bay`s a-sayin` "Howdy" to de lan`; An` de folks is all-a-settin` out erroun` de cabin do`, Wid dey feet a-restin` in de silvah san`; An` de ol` plantation`s callin` to me, Come, oh, come, F`om de life dat`s des` a-waihin` you erway, F`om de trouble an` de bustle, an` de agernizin` hum Dat de city keeps ergoin` all de day. I`s tiahed of de city, tek me back to Sandy Side, Whaih de po`est ones kin live an` play an` eat; Whaih we draws a simple livin` f`om de fo`est an` de tide, An` de days ah faih, an` evah night is sweet. Fu` de ol` plantation`s callin` to me, Come, oh, come. An` de Chesapeake`s a-sayin` "Dat`s de t`ing," W`ile my little cabin beckons, dough his mouf is closed an` dumb, I`s a-comin`, an` my hea`t begins to sing.
