ALL de night long twell de moon goes down, <br />Lovin' I set at huh feet, <br />Den fu' de long jou'ney back f'om de town, <br />Ha'd, but de dreams mek it sweet. <br />All de night long twell de break of de day, <br />Dreamin' agin in my sleep, <br />Mandy comes drivin' my sorrers away, <br />Axin' me, 'Wha' fu' you weep?' <br />All de day long twell de sun goes down, <br />Smilin', I ben' to my hoe, <br />Fu' dough de weddah git nasty an' frown, <br />One place I know I kin go. <br />All my life long twell de night has pas' <br />Let de wo'k come ez it will, <br />So dat I fin' you, my honey, at las', <br />Somewhaih des ovah de hill.<br /><br />Paul Laurence Dunbar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/twell-de-night-is-pas/
