Thread Name: Lyr Add: Death Song (Paul Laurence Dunbar)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Death Song - from rare African-Amer
Do people not think that the way these songs are written down hinders the enjoyment we get out of them today? Did Dunbar write them down with all the "dems" and "dats" or was that the way someone wrote them for him ? Loved the poetry all the same .
