A poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar

Despair

________________________________________________
Title:     Despair
Author: Paul Laurence Dunbar [More Titles by Dunbar]

Let me close the eyes of my soul
That I may not see
What stands between thee and me.

Let me shut the ears of my heart
That I may not hear
A voice that drowns yours, my dear.

Let me cut the cords of my life,
Of my desolate being,
Since cursed is my hearing and seeing.






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