Paul Laurence Dunbar - To A Dead FriendPaul Laurence Dunbar - To A Dead Friend
Work rating: Low


It is as if a silver chord     Were suddenly grown mute,   And life`s song with its rhythm warred     Against a silver lute.   It is as if a silence fell     Where bides the garnered sheaf,   And voices murmuring, "It is well,"     Are stifled by our grief.   It is as if the gloom of night     Had hid a summer`s day,   And willows, sighing at their plight,     Bent low beside the way.   For he was part of all the best     That Nature loves and gives,   And ever more on Memory`s breast     He lies and laughs and lives.
