ALL de night long twell de moon goes down, Lovin' I set at huh feet, Den fu' de long jou'ney back f'om de town, Ha'd, but de dreams mek it sweet. All de night long twell de break of de day, Dreamin' agin in my sleep, Mandy comes drivin' my sorrers away, Axin' me, "Wha' fu' you weep?" All de day long twell de sun goes down, Smilin', I ben' to my hoe, Fu' dough de weddah git nasty an' frown, One place I know I kin go. All my life long twell de night has pas' Let de wo'k come ez it will, So dat I fin' you, my honey, at las', Somewhaih des ovah de hill. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SHADOW ON THE STONE by THOMAS HARDY TIME TO BE WISE by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR ON LAYING THE CORNER-STONE OF THE BUNKER HILL MOMUMENT by JOHN PIERPONT ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 64 by PHILIP SIDNEY |
