Paul Laurence Dunbar - Song Of SummerPaul Laurence Dunbar - Song Of Summer
Work rating: Medium


DIS is gospel weathah sho` Hills is sawt o` hazy. Meddahs level ez a flo` Callin` to de lazy. Sky all white wif streaks o` blue, Sunshine softly gleamin`, D`ain`t no wuk hit`s right to do, Nothin` `s right but dreamin`. Dreamin` by de rivah side Wif de watahs glist`nin`, Feelin` good an` satisfied Ez you lay a-list`nin` To the little nakid boys Splashin` in de watah, Hollerin` fu` to spress deir joys Jes` lak youngsters ought to. Squir`l a-tippin` on his toes, So`s to hide an` view you; Whole flocks o` camp-meetin` crows Shoutin` hallelujah. Peckahwood erpon de tree Tappin` lak a hammah; Jaybird chattin` wif a bee, Tryin` to teach him grammah. Breeze is blowin` wif perfume, Jes` enough to tease you; Hollyhocks is all in bloom, Smellin` fu` to please you. Go `way, folks, an` let me `lone, Times is gettin` dearah Summah`s settin` on de th`one, An` I`m a-layin` neah huh!
