 | The Collected Poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar : |  |
A STARRY NIGHT
A cloud fell down from the heavens,
And broke on the mountain's brow;
It scattered the dusky fragments
All over the vale below.
And broke on the mountain's brow;
It scattered the dusky fragments
All over the vale below.
The moon and the stars were anxious
To know what its fate might be;
So they rushed to the azure op'ning,
And all peered down to see.
To know what its fate might be;
So they rushed to the azure op'ning,
And all peered down to see.
