Paul Laurence Dunbar - Hope
Work rating: Low

DE dog go howlin` `long de road,
De night come shiverin` down;
My back is tiahed of its load,
I cain`t be fu` f`om town.
No mattah ef de way is long,
My haht is swellin` wid a song,
No mattah `bout de frownin` skies,
I`ll soon be home to see my Lize.
My shadder staggah on de way,
It`s monstous col` to-night;
But I kin hyeah my honey say
"W`y bless me if de sight 
O` you ain`t good fu` my so` eyes."
(Dat talk`s dis lak my lady Lize)
I`s so`y case de way was long
But Lawd you bring me love an` song.
No mattah ef de way is long,
An` ef I trimbles so`
I knows de fiah`s burnin` strong,
Behime my Lizy`s do`.
An` daih my res` an` joy shell be,
Whaih my ol` wife`s awaitin` me — 
Why what I keer fu` stingin` blas`,
I see huh windah light at las`.
