Paul Laurence Dunbar


Cheered her soul like dew a dusty flower.	1
Fall, like the autumn-kissed leaf.	2
Flashing … like scimitar from its sheath.	3
Foremost in his mind, Like the keen prow of some on-forging ship.	4
Stalks shine Like the burnished spears of a field of gold.	5
Sweet as are the orchards, when the fruit is hanging ripe.	6
Warm as sun at noon’s high hour.	7
