# The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/Hunting Song

HUNTING SONG
Tek a cool night, good an' cleah,  Skiff o' snow upon de groun';  Jes' 'bout fall-time o' de yeah  W'en de leaves is dry an brown;  Tek a dog an' tek a axe,  Tek a lantu'n in yo' han',  Step light whah de switches cracks,  Fu' dey 's huntin' in de lan'. Down thoo de valleys an' ovah de hills,  Into de woods whah de 'simmon-tree grows, Wakin' an' skeerin' de po' whippo'wills,  Huntin' fu' coon an' fu' 'possum we goes.
 Blow dat ho'n dah loud an' strong,  Call de dogs an' da'kies neah;  Mek its music cleah an' long,  So de folks at home kin hyeah.  Blow it twell de hills an' trees  Sen's de echoes tumblin' back;  Blow it twell de back'ard breeze  Tells de folks we 's on de track. Coons is a-ramblin' an' 'possums is out;  Look at dat dog; you could set on his tail! Watch him now—steady,—min'—what you 's about,  Bless me, dat animal's got on de trail!
 Listen to him ba'kin now!  Dat means bus'ness, sho 's you bo'n;  Ef he's struck de scent I 'low  Dat ere 'possum's sholy gone.  Knowed dat dog fu' fo'teen yeahs,  An' I nevah seed him fail  Wen he sot dem flappin' eahs  An' went off upon a trail. Run, Mistah 'Possum, an' run, Mistah Coon,  No place is safe fu' yo' ramblin' to-night; Mas' gin' de lantu'n an' God gin de moon,  An' a long hunt gins a good appetite.
 Look hyeah, folks, you hyeah dat change?  Dat ba'k is sha'per dan de res'.  Dat ere soun' ain't nothin' strange,—  Dat dog's talked his level bes'.  Somep'n' 's treed, I know de soun'.  Dah now,—wha 'd I tell you? see!  Dat ere dog done run him down;  Come hyeah, he'p cut down dis tree. Ah, Mistah 'Possum, we got you at las'—  Need n't play daid, laying dah on de groun'; Fros' an' de 'simmons has made you grow fas',—  Won't he be fine when he's roasted up brown!

# The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/Hymn (1)

HYMN
When storms arise And dark'ning skies  About me threat'ning lower, To thee, O Lord, I raise mine eyes, To thee my tortured spirit flies  For solace in that hour.
The mighty arm Will let no harm  Come near me nor befall me; Thy voice shall quiet my alarm, When life's great battle waxeth warm—  No foeman shall appall me.
Upon thy breast Secure I rest,  From sorrow and vexation; No more by sinful cares oppressed, But in thy presence ever blest,  O God of my salvation.

# The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/If

IF If life were but a dream, my Love,  And death the waking time; If day had not a beam, my Love,  And night had not a rhyme,—  A barren, barren world were this  Without one saving gleam;  I 'd only ask that with a kiss  You 'd wake me from the dream.
If dreaming were the sum of days,  And loving were the bane; If battling for a wreath of bays  Could soothe a heart in pain,—  I 'd scorn the meed of battle's might,  All other aims above  I 'd choose the human's higher right,  To suffer and to love!

# The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/In An English Garden

IN AN ENGLISH GARDEN
In this old garden, fair, I walk to-day  Heart-charmed with all the beauty of the scene:  The rich, luxuriant grasses' cooling green, The wall's environ, ivy-decked and gray, The waving branches with the wind at play,  The slight and tremulous blooms that show between,  Sweet all: and yet my yearning heart doth lean Toward Love's Egyptian fleshpots far away.
Beside the wall, the slim Laburnum grows  And flings its golden flow'rs to every breeze.  But e'en among such soothing sights as these, I pant and nurse my soul-devouring woes. Of all the longings that our hearts wot of, There is no hunger like the want of love!

# The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/He Had His Dream

He had his dream, and all through life, Worked up to it through toil and strife. Afloat fore'er before his eyes, It colored for him all his skies:  The storm-cloud dark  Above his bark, The calm and listless vault of blue Took on its hopeful hue, It tinctured every passing beam --  He had his dream.
He labored hard and failed at last, His sails too weak to bear the blast, The raging tempests tore away And sent his beating bark astray.  But what cared he  For wind or sea! He said, "The tempest will be short, My bark will come to port." He saw through every cloud a gleam --  He had his dream.

# The Blue Bonnets o'er the Border/Johnny Bluster's Wife

JOHNNY BLUSTER'S WIFE.
Johnny Bluster dwalt on Tweed, The place they ca'd it Traddletony;
Johnny was a joiner gude, Nane could wield a plain like Johnny. Lizie Painch was Johnny's wife, An' silly Matty was her mither; Sic a wife as Johnny had, I wadna gi'e a button for her.
Johnny was ance half in love, His fancy was by beauty haunted; Heaven shone in Johnny's e'e— But no the heaven Johnny wanted: For Johnny courted Lizie Painch, 'Cause Lizie Painch she had the siller, Sic a wife as Lizie Painch, I wadna gi'e a button for her.
Lizie's face was like the moon, Her shonther's maist as braid as Samson's; Her very picture's like the sign, That hings aboon auld Robin Tamson's. But de'il a prin does Johnny care, Were Lizie like the witch of Endor; Johnny fattens on her gear— He wadna gi'e a button for her.
# The Blue Bonnets o'er the Border/My Peggy is a Young Thing

MY PEGGY IS A YOUNG THING.
My Peggy is a young thing, Just entered in her teens, Fair as the day, and sweet as May, Fair as the day, and always gay. My Peggy is a young thing, And I am not very auld,
Yet weel I like to meet her at The wauking o' the fauld.
My Peggy speaks sae sweetly, Whene'er we meet alane, I wish nae mair to lay my care, I wish nae mair of a' that's rare. My Peggy speaks sae sweetly, To a' the lave I'm cauld, But she gars a' my spirits glow, At wauking o' the fauld.
My Peggy smiles sae kindly, Whene'er I whisper love, That I look down on a' the town, That I look down upon a crown. My Peggy smiles sae kindly, It makes me blythe and bauld, And naething gies me sic delight, As wauking o' the fauld.
My Peggy sings sae saftly, When on my pipe I play, By a' the rest it is contest, By a' the rest, that she sings best. My Peggy sings sae saftly, And in her sangs are tauld, With innocence, the wale o' sense, At walking o' the fauld.

# The Blue Bonnets o'er the Border/Auld Robin Gray

AULD ROBIN GRAY.
Young Jamie lo'ed me weel, and he sought me for his bride, But saving a crown, he had naething beside; To mak that crown a pund, my Jamie gade to sea, And the crown and the pund were baith for me. He had been awa a week but only twa, When my mither she fell sick, and the cow was stown awa,
My father brak his arm, and my Jamie at the sea, And auld Robin Gray cam a-courting me.
My father cou'dna work, and my mither cou'dna spin; I toil'd day and night, but their bread I cou'dna win; Auld Rob maintain'd them baith, and wi' tears in his ea, Said Jenny, for their sakes, O! marry me. My heart it said nay, I look'd for Jamie back; But the wind it blew high, and the ship it prov'd a wreck; The ship it prov'd a wreck, why didna Jenny die. And why do I live to say, waes me?
Auld Robin argued sair, though my mither didna speak, She look'd in my face till my heart was like to break; So they gied him my hand, tho' my heart was at the sea, Aud auld Robin Gray is a gide man to me. I hadna been a wife a week but only four, When sitting sae mournfully at the door, I saw my Jamie's wraith, for I cou'dna think it he, Until he said, Jenny, I'm come to marry thee.
O, sair did we greet, and muckle did we say, We took but ae kiss, and tore ourselves away: I wish I were dead, but I'm nae like to die, And why do I live, to say wae's me. I gang like a ghaist, I carena to spin, I darena think on Jamie, for that would be a sin; But I'll do my best a gude wife to be, For auld Robin Gray is kind unto me.

# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Alston, Lemuel James

​ALSTON, Lemuel James, representative, was born in Granville county, N.C., in 1760; son of Solomon Alston, grandson of Solomon and Nancy (Hinton) Alston, and great-grandson of John and Mary (Clark) Alston.

# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Allston, Theodosia Burr

​ALLSTON, Theodosia Burr, was born in Albany, N. Y., in 1783, daughter of Aaron and Theodosia (Provost) Burr. She was tenderly reared, her father directing his efforts to train her up to become something more than a "mere fashionable woman with all the attendant frivolity and vacuity of mind," and she is admitted to have been the "most charming and accomplished woman of her day." She was the mistress of her father's house in Washington when only eleven years old, at a time when he was at the zenith of his political popularity. She returned with him to their New York home, and on February 2, 1801, after he had been elected vice-president of the United States, she, in her eighteenth year, was married to Joseph Allston, a wealthy young planter of South Carolina, son of William Allston and relative of Washington Allston, the historical painter. He afterward became governor of the state of South Carolina, and their son, Aaron Burr Allston, was proclaimed by his proud grandfather as the intended heir to the throne of the empire of Mexico, which he dreamed of wresting from the Montezumas. Aaron Burr awoke from that dream to find himself a prisoner confronted with a charge of treason, while the lovely Theodosia, the petted and beloved leader of the social circles of two capitals, found herself an object of distrust and suspicion, shunned by her nearest friends and derided by those who before had not been so fortunate as to share her favor. Upon hearing of her father's imprisonment at Richmond she hastened to his side, and through the long trial clung to him with more than filial devotion, sharing in his disgrace, and by her beauty and heroism charming even the most bitter of his enemies. From her childhood she had been his friend and ​companion, and in the dark hours of his checkered career her faith in him and her devotion to him were the only ties that bound him to his fellow-beings. Subsequently, when her exiled father was weary of his four years' wanderings in foreign lands, it was through her eloquent appeals to Mrs. Madison, Secretary Gallatin, and other old-time friends, that the way was finally opened for his return to his America. The death of her son, in his eleventh year, before his grandfather's return, prostrated her completely. In the hope that the companionship of her beloved father would restore her broken health and spirit, her husband obtained passage for her to New York in the Patriot, a coasting schooner. The vessel was never heard from after its departure from Charleston, S. C, in December, 1813, and it was believed to have foundered off the coast of Hatteras. Some forty years afterward, however, a romantic story found credence and went the rounds of the press, to the effect that a dying sailor in Detroit had confessed that he had been one of a crew of mutineers, who, in January, 1813, took possession of the Patriot, bound from Charleston to New York, and compelled the crew and passengers to "walk the plank." Charles Burr Todd has written biographical "Sketches of Rev. Aaron Burr, D.D., Col. Aaron Burr, and Theodosia Burr Allston," published in New York, 1879.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Almy, William

​ALMY, William, manufacturer, was born in Providence, R. I., Feb. 17, 1761. In early life he was a teacher. He married a daughter of Moses Brown, and engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods. His life was full of philanthropic deeds, and he used his wealth in helping others to help themselves. He established the New England yearly meeting boarding-house in Providence, now known as "The Friends' School." He had enrolled, and took the entire responsibility for the education of, eighty students. He was a member of the society of Friends, and was highly esteemed for his upright and benevolent character. He died Feb. 5, 1836.
