Discovered

    By Paul Laurence Dunbar



    Seen you down at chu'ch las' night,
    Nevah min', Miss Lucy.
    What I mean? oh, dat 's all right,
    Nevah min', Miss Lucy.
    You was sma't ez sma't could be,
    But you could n't hide f'om me.
    Ain't I got two eyes to see!
    Nevah min', Miss Lucy.

    Guess you thought you's awful keen;
    Nevah min', Miss Lucy.
    Evahthing you done, I seen;
    Nevah min', Miss Lucy.
    Seen him tek yo' ahm jes' so,
    When he got outside de do'--
    Oh, I know dat man 's yo' beau!
    Nevah min', Miss Lucy.

    Say now, honey, wha 'd he say?--
    Nevah min', Miss Lucy!
    Keep yo' secrets--dat's yo' way--
    Nevah min', Miss Lucy.
    Won't tell me an' I'm yo' pal--
    I'm gwine tell his othah gal,--
    Know huh, too, huh name is Sal;
    Nevah min', Miss Lucy!
