Paul Laurence Dunbar Quotes

What dreams we have and how they fly Like rosy clouds across the sky; Of wealth, of fame, of sure success, Of love that comes to cheer and bless; And how they whither, how they fade, The waning wealth, the jilting jade? The fame that for a moment gleams, Then flies forever,? dreams, ah? dreams!

Paul Laurence Dunbar
