Paul Laurence Dunbar - A Warm Day In Winter lyrics

'SUNSHINE on de medders, Greenness on de way; Dat's de blessed reason I sing all de day.' Look hyeah! Whut you axin'? Whut meks me so merry? 'Spect to see me sighin' W'en hit's wa'm in Febawary? 'Long de stake an' rider Seen a robin set; W'y, hit 'mence a-thawin', Groun' is monst'ous wet. Den you stan' dah wond'rin', 'Lookin' skeert an' stary; I's a right to caper W'en hit's wa'm in Febawary. Missis gone a-drivin', Mastah gone to shoot; Ev'ry da'ky lazin' In de sun to boot. Qua'tah's moughty pleasant, Hangin' 'roun' my Mary; Cou'tin' boun' to prospah W'en hit's wa'm in Febawary. Cidah' look so pu'ty, Po'in' f'om de jug— Don' you see it's happy? Hyeah it laffin' — glug? Now's de time fu' people Fu' to try an' bury All dey grief an' sorrer, W'en hit's wa'm in Febawary.
