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 ring is on my hand"
The author remembers his childhood in the orange groves.
A child trudges up to bed.
In a small and lonely cabin out of noisy traffic’s way,
The sparse number of maple trees are perceived as exiles in contrast to the jungles of cypress that surround them.
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.
The end of the Appalachian system in Northern Florida evokes the imagery of battle in the author's mind.
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.
A nonsense poem about an owl and pussy-cat that get married.
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
Portia dispatches Nerissa to Shylock's house. The disguised Portia is approached by Graziano.
Mr. Peck passes away.
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;
Grendel is angered by the constant happiness of the Scyldings. The Scyldings are driven from the great hall.
A child observes the many sites that adorn the Indian River.
