 | The Collected Poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar : |  |
II
[The light was on the golden sands]
The light was on the golden sands,
A glimmer on the sea;
My soul spoke clearly to thy soul,
Thy spirit answered me.
A glimmer on the sea;
My soul spoke clearly to thy soul,
Thy spirit answered me.
Since then the light that gilds the sands,
And glimmers on the sea,
But vainly struggles to reflect
The radiant soul of thee.
And glimmers on the sea,
But vainly struggles to reflect
The radiant soul of thee.
