Love's Chastening

Title:     Love's Chastening
Author: Paul Laurence Dunbar [More Titles by Dunbar]

Once Love grew bold and arrogant of air,
Proud of the youth that made him fresh and fair;
So unto Grief he spake, "What right hast thou
To part or parcel of this heart?" Grief's brow
Was darkened with the storm of inward strife;
Thrice smote he Love as only he might dare,
And Love, pride purged, was chastened all his life.

[The end]
Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem: Love's Chastening
