PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR
American poet, novelist and short story writer
(1872 - 1906)

The Lord had a job for me, but I had so much to do,
  I said, "You get somebody else--or wait till I get through."
    I don't know how the Lord came out, but He seemed to get along:
      But I felt kinda sneakin' like, 'cause I know'd I done Him wrong.
        One day I needed the Lord--Needed Him myself--needed Him right away,
          And He never answered me at all, but I could hear Him say
            Down in my accusin' heart, "Nigger, I'se got too much to do,
              You get somebody else or wait till I get through."
      - The Lord had a Job [Work]

Y'ought to hyeah dat gal a-warblin'
  Robins, la'ks an' all dem things
    Heish de mouffs an' hides dey faces
      When Malindy sings.
      - When Malindy Sings [Singing]
