What dreams we have and how they fly. Like rosy clouds across the sky; Of wealth, of fame, of sure success, Of love that comes to cheer and bless; And how they wither, how they fade, The waning wealth, the jilting jade -The fame that for a moment gleams,Then flies forever, -dreams, ah -dreams!Paul Laurence Dunbar

When the corn's all cut and the bright stalks shine / Like the burnished spears of a field of gold; / When the field-mice rich on the nubbins dine, / And the frost comes white and the wind blows cold; / Then it's heigh-ho! fellows and hi-diddle-diddle, / For the time is ripe for the corn-stalk fiddle.Paul Laurence Dunbar

Pay it I will to the end -- / Until the grave, my friend, / Gives me a true release -- / Gives me the clasp of peace. / Slight was the thing I bought, / Small was the debt I thought, / Poor was the loan at best -- / God! but the interest!Paul Laurence Dunbar
