A QUESTION, by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR Poet's Biography First Line: I wist not that I had the pow'r to sing Last Line: Is he a trained musician too? | |||
I wist not that I had the pow'r to sing, But here of late they say my songs are sweet. Is it because my timid numbers ring With love's warm music that doth ever beat Its melody within my throbbing heart? If so, what else can roguish Cupid do? I know him master of the archer's art; Is he a trained musician too? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BANJO SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A BOY'S SUMMER SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A CHRISTMAS FOLKSONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A CORN SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A DEATH SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A HYMN; AFTER READING 'LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT' by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A LITTLE CHRISTMAS BASKET by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A LOVE LETTER by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A LOVE SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A MUSICAL by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
