Negro Poems, Melodies |
||
|
A moonlight night in Dixie,
A moonlight night to dream, Moonlight with its glimmer
And moonlight writh its gleam ; And when thinking of my childhood
My heart in fondness goes, Back to sunny Dixie
Where the Swanee river flows. |

THE SUN DO MOVE
The world am round
And the world am flat, And we'll let it go—
On its way at that; "But praise the Lawd
For I can prove," Said old brother Jasper,
"That the sun do move."
Joshua made—
The sun stand still, While he fought the fight
On the holy hill ; "But praise the Lawd
For I can prove," Said old brother Jasper,
"That the sun do move." |
