A Choice

Title:     A Choice
Author: Paul Laurence Dunbar [More Titles by Dunbar]

They please me not--these solemn songs
That hint of sermons covered up.
'Tis true the world should heed its wrongs,
But in a poem let me sup,
Not simples brewed to cure or ease
Humanity's confessed disease,
But the spirit-wine of a singing line,
Or a dew-drop in a honey cup!

[The end]
Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem: Choice
