Paul Laurence Dunbar - Dinah Kneading DoughPaul Laurence Dunbar - Dinah Kneading Dough
Work rating: Low


I have seen full many a sight   Born of day or drawn by night:   Sunlight on a silver stream,   Golden lilies all a-dream,   Lofty mountains, bold and proud,   Veiled beneath the lacelike cloud;   But no lovely sight I know   Equals Dinah kneading dough.   Brown arms buried elbow-deep   Their domestic rhythm keep,   As with steady sweep they go   Through the gently yielding dough.   Maids may vaunt their finer charms--   Naught to me like Dinah`s arms;   Girls may draw, or paint, or sew--   I love Dinah kneading dough.   Eyes of jet and teeth of pearl,   Hair, some say, too tight a-curl;   But the dainty maid I deem   Very near perfection`s dream.   Swift she works, and only flings   Me a glance--the least of things.   And I wonder, does she know   That my heart is in the dough?
