The Dove

Title:     The Dove
Author: Paul Laurence Dunbar [More Titles by Dunbar]

Out of the sunshine and out of the heat,
Out of the dust of the grimy street,
A song fluttered down in the form of a dove,
And it bore me a message, the one word--Love!

Ah, I was toiling, and oh, I was sad:
I had forgotten the way to be glad.
Now, smiles for my sadness and for my toil, rest
Since the dove fluttered down to its home in my breast!

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