The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar · Paul Laurence Dunbar

Night

386 of 424 · 1 min of reading

Silence, and whirling worlds afar

Through all encircling skies.

What floods come o'er the spirit's bar,

What wondrous thoughts arise.

The earth, a mantle falls away,

And, winged, we leave the sod;

Where shines in its eternal sway

The majesty of God.
