Love's Draft

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

The draft of love was cool and sweet
You gave me in the cup,
But, ah, love's fire is keen and fleet,
And I am burning up.

Unless the tears I shed for you
Shall quench this burning flame,
It will consume me through and through,
And leave but ash--a name.

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