Thread Name: Lyr Add: Death Song (Paul Laurence Dunbar)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Death Song - from rare African-Amer
Thanks, Sorcha.

Q, maybe it is the "<" before that second line that keeps it from showing up on your browser? I will remove it. I think I'd posted it before we had automatic line breaks. THIS is what I see when the thread comes up in my browser WITH the "<" removed:

Lay me nigh to whah hit meks a little pool,
An de watah stan's so quiet lak an' cool,
Whah de little birds in spring,
Ust to come an' drink an' sing,
An' de chillen waded on dey way to school.

Near as I can see, that's all five lines.
