WHAT IS DIS?; A NEGRO SPIRITUAL, by ANONYMOUS First Line: What is dis dat steals Last Line: "all is well, all is well" | |||
WHAT is dis dat steals, Dat steals across my brow? Is hit death? Is hit death? Is hit death? If dis be death, I soon shall be From ebry pain an' truble free, I shall de king ob glory see. All is well, all is well. What is dis dat make, Dat make my pulse beat slow? Is hit death? Is hit death? Is hit death? If dis be death, I soon shall be From ebry pain an' truble free, I shall de king ob glory see. All is well, all is well. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
