Paul Laurence Dunbar - Blue
Work rating: Low

STANDIN` at de winder,
Feelin` kind o` glum,
Listenin` to de raindrops
Play de kettle drum,
Lookin` crost de medders
Swimmin` lak a sea;
Lawd `a` mussy on us,
What`s de good o` me?
Can`t go out a-hoein`,
Wouldn`t ef I could;
Groun` too wet fu` huntin`,
Fishin` ain`t no good.
Too much noise fo` sleepin`,
No one hyeah to chat;
Des mus` stan` an` listen
To dat pit-a-pat.
Hills is gittin` misty,
Valley`s gittin` dahk;
Watch-dog`s `mence a-howlin`,
Rathah have `em ba`k
Dan a-moanin` solemn
Somewhaih out o` sight;
Rain-crow des a-chucklin` — 
Dis is his delight.
Mandy, bring my banjo,
Bring de chillen in,
Come in f`om de kitchen,
I feel sick ez sin.
Call in Uncle Isaac,
Call Aunt Hannah, too,
Tain`t no use in talkin`,
Chile, I`s sholy blue.
