Paul Laurence Dunbar Quotes
Out In The Sky The Great Dark Clouds Are Massing;
I Look Far Out Into The Pregnant Night,
Where I Can Hear A Solemn Booming Gun
And Catch The Gleaming Of A Random Light,
That Tells Me That The Ship I Seek Is Passing, Passing.
My Tearful Eyes My Soul's Deep Hurt Are Glassing;
For I Would Hail And Check That Ship Of Ships.
I Stretch My Hands Imploring, Cry Aloud,
My Voice Falls Dead A Foot From Mine Own Lips,
And But Its Ghost Doth Reach That Vessel, Passing, Passing.
O Earth, O Sky, O Ocean, Both Surpassing,
O Heart Of Mine, O Soul That Dreads The Dark!
Is There No Hope For Me? Is There No Way
That I May Sight And Check That Speeding Bark
Which Out Of Sight And Sound Is Passing, Passing?
