A GOLDEN DAY

Paul Laurence Dunbar

I found you and I lost you, All on a gleaming day. The day was rilled with sunshine, And the land was full of May.

A golden bird was singing Its melody divine, I found you and I loved you, And all the world was mine.

I found you and I lost you, All on a golden day, But when I dream of you, dear, It is always brimming May.
