 | The Collected Poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar : |  |
NIGHT
Silence, and whirling worlds afar
Through all encircling skies.
What floods come o'er the spirit's bar,
What wondrous thoughts arise.
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.
And, winged, we leave the sod;
Where shines in its eternal sway
The majesty of God.
