Lyrics of Lowly Life
"A Corn-Song"
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
"On the wide veranda white,"
"On the wide veranda white,"
A poinciana comes to full bloom under the Florida sky.
"Oh, what shall I do? I am wholly upset;"
The author admires the ocean from Florida's Coast.
The poet reflects on the world at noon, while laying back and dozing.
"A bee that was searching for sweets one day"
The author remembers his childhood in the orange groves.
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.
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,
Tommy Stubbins tells about his life in Puddleby-on-the-Marsh and his three friends, Joe, Matthew Mugg, and Luke.
FROM dark abodes to fair etherial light
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.
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 short story about a robin who flies north in the springtime, builds a nest for his mate, and migrates south for the winter.
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.
