The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/The Poet
(Redirected from The Poet (Dunbar))
For works with similar titles, see The Poet.
He sang of life, serenely sweet,
With, now and then, a deeper note.
From some high peak, nigh yet remote,
He voiced the world's absorbing beat.
He sang of love when earth was young,
And Love, itself, was in his lays.
But, ah, the world, it turned to praise
A jingle in a broken tongue.
