Paul Laurence Dunbar - A Spiritual
Work rating: Low

De `cession`s stahted on de gospel way,
    De Capting is a-drawin` nigh:
  Bettah stop a-foolin` an` a-try to pray;
    Lif` up yo` haid w`en de King go by!

  Oh, sinnah mou`nin` in de dusty road,
    Hyeah `s de minute fu` to dry yo` eye:
  Dey `s a moughty One a-comin` fu` to baih yo` load;
    Lif` up yo` haid w`en de King go by!

  Oh, widder weepin` by yo` husban`s grave,
    Hit `s bettah fu` to sing den sigh:
  Hyeah come de Mastah wid de powah to save;
    Lif` up yo` haid w`en de King go by!

  Oh, orphans a-weepin` lak de widder do,
    An` I wish you `d tell me why:
  De Mastah is a mammy an` a pappy too;
    Lif` up yo` haid w`en de King go by!

  Oh, Moses sot de sarpint in de wildahness
    W`en de chillun had commenced to die:
  Some `efused to look, but hit cuohed de res`;
    Lif` up yo` haid w`en de King go by!

  Bow down, bow `way down, Bow down,
  But lif` up yo` haid w`en de King go by!
