Description
Excerpt from Poems and Songs
"For I have made the trip of life,
And found my landing place;
I'll take my soul and anchor that
Fast to the Throne of Grace."

Huldy Hawkins' Ball.
C'rismus Eve Miss Huldy Hawkins
Saunt aroun' fo' all she knowed;
Gib er party in her cabin,
Fo' miles down de Cane Run road.
Arter eatin' cum de dancin',
Fiddle played by "Big-foot Anse;"
Nebbcr seed as many niggahs
On one do' ter hab er dance.
Ole Jeems Dawson call de figgers,
"Swing yo' cornahs - balance all,"
Eberybody dar wuz happy
Down at Huldy Hawkins' ball.
Arter 'while sum city niggahs,
Full ob debilment an' gin,
Went down dar, but had no money,
Course dey wan't invited in.
Cos' each "coon" a half a dollah
Fo' ter git in on de flo';
Dem dat didn't hab de money
Had ter stan' outside de do'.
