To J.Q. Poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar

To J.Q.

Rating: ★2.7


WHAT are the things that make life bright?
A star gleam in the night.
What hearts us for the coming fray?
The dawn tints of the day.
What helps to speed the weary mile?
A brother's friendly smile.
What turns o' gold the evening gray?
A flower beside the way.
