Paul Laurence Dunbar - Forever

2014-11-10 51 Dailymotion

I HAD not known before <br />Forever was so long a word. <br />The slow stroke of the clock of time <br />I had not heard. <br />'Tis hard to learn so late; <br />It seems no sad heart really learns, <br />But hopes and trusts and doubts and fears, <br />And bleeds and burns. <br />The night is not all dark, <br />Nor is the day all it seems, <br />But each may bring me this relief — <br />My dreams and dreams. <br />I had not known before <br />That Never was so sad a word, <br />So wrap me in forgetfulness — <br />I have not heard.<br /><br />Paul Laurence Dunbar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forever-40/
