new poem i found

[revrabbidan]

its been quite some time since i got anything from the poetry email list im on, but it seems to fit... something... in an odd way.

A Golden Day

I Found you and I lost you,
All on a gleaming day.
The day was filled with sunshine,
And the land was full of May.

A golden bird was singing
Its melody divine,
I found you and I loved you,
And all the world was mine.

I found you and I lost you,
All on a golden day,
But when I dream of you, dear,
It is always brimming May.

Paul Laurence Dunbar

(it almost makes me cry)
