Paul Laurence Dunbar - Dream Song II
Work rating: Low

Pray, what can dreams avail
    To make love or to mar?
  The child within the cradle rail
    Lies dreaming of the star.
  But is the star by this beguiled
  To leave its place and seek the child?

  The poor plucked rose within its glass
    Still dreameth of the bee;
  But, tho` the lagging moments pass,
    Her Love she may not see.
  If dream of child and flower fail,
  Why should a maiden`s dreams prevail?
