Here you will find the Poem A Frolic of poet Paul Laurence Dunbar
SWING yo' lady roun' an' roun', Do de bes' you know; Mek yo' bow an' p'omenade Up an' down de flo'; Mek dat banjo hump huhse'f, Listen at huh talk: Mastah gone to town to-night; 'T ain't no time to walk. Lif' yo' feet an' flutter thoo, Run, Miss Lucy, run; Reckon you'll be cotched an' kissed 'Fo' de night is done. You don't need to be so proud - I's a-watchin' you, An' I's layin' lots o' plans Fu' to git you, too. Moonlight on de cotton-fiel' Shinin' sof' an' white, Whippo'will a-tellin' tales Out thaih in de night; An' yo' cabin's 'crost de lot: Run, Miss Lucy, run; Reckon you'll be cotched an' kissed 'Fo' de night is done.
