A Golden Day
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
In the 1913 collection of his work, The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar



       A GOLDEN DAY

I found you and I lost you,
  All on a gleaming day.
The day was rilled with sunshine,
  And the land was full of May.

A golden bird was singing
  Its melody divine,
I found you and I loved you,
  And all the world was mine.

I found you and I lost you,
  All on a golden day,
But when I dream of you, dear,
  It is always brimming May.
