Diplomacy

Title:     Diplomacy
Author: Paul Laurence Dunbar [More Titles by Dunbar]

Tell your love where the roses blow,
And the hearts of the lilies quiver,
Not in the city's gleam and glow,
But down by a half-sunned river.
Not in the crowded ball-room's glare,
That would be fatal, Marie, Marie,
How can she answer you then and there?
So come then and stroll with me, my dear,
Down where the birds call, Marie, Marie.

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