21 February 1902 Selection From Margaret Sellers' Friendship Book

 21 February 1902

This selection is likely entered by Bertha Sellers,

Madge's immediate older sister.

The verse was written in dialect
by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

Dunbar also wrote in Mid-west, James Whitcomb Riley (Hoosier) dialect,
and conversational English.

Here's a nice site, from the Poetry Foundation,
to learn more about Dunbar.
