Classic Poem

Moon astarin' troo de trees,
Stars ablinkin' as you sees,
Li'l leaves adreamin' deep,
Shadders comin' creep and creep,
Dey sha'n't tech you don' you cheep
Dere! Dere! Sleep! Sleep!

'Taint a li'l bird awake,
'Taint a nothin', goodness sake!
'Cep' dese laffin' eyes so sweet,
De way dey shines, it sho' do beat.
God, I lubs you head to feet.
Dere! Dere! Sleep! Sleep!

Ain't you quit dis laffin' yet?
Don' you know de sun's done set?
Wan' me kiss dis li'l han'?
Well, well, laf de w'ile you can,
You won' laf w'en you'se a man,
Dere! Dere! Sleep! Sleep!
