Lyrics of Lowly Life
"Two Songs"
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
"A bee that was searching for sweets one day"
"A bee that was searching for sweets one day"
The author remembers his childhood in the orange groves.
While in the presence of death, the characters of the story are confronted by a strange entity.
A child trudges up to bed.
In a small and lonely cabin out of noisy traffic’s way,
The poet reflects on the world at noon, while laying back and dozing.
A list and description of possible exercises that can be used to catch the attention of your students at the beginning of the school day.
Tommy Stubbins tells about his life in Puddleby-on-the-Marsh and his three friends, Joe, Matthew Mugg, and Luke.
A short story about a caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly.
Whitefoot becomes sad and uninterested in the things he once loved, but he can’t figure out why.
FROM dark abodes to fair etherial light
Du Bois explains and presents the Sorrow Songs of the olden days.
So bashful when I spied her
She died, — this was the way she died;
A child observes the many sites that adorn the Indian River.
The author gives the reader some insight to into the purpose of his book.
The author admires the nature along the banks of the Oklawaha River.
A man and woman wish for a child. One winter they decide to create a snow child, and are shocked to see their creation miraculously come to life. They treat the child, Snowflake, as their own and shower her with love and affection. Unfortunately the arrival of spring brings changes that cause unhappiness.
"Wen I git up in de mo’nin’ an’ de clouds is big an’ black,"
A short story about a robin who flies north in the springtime, builds a nest for his mate, and migrates south for the winter.
One dignity delays for all
The natural beauty of the Tamiami Trail is described.
