Show A SAD SONG. to Love is the light of the world, my dear, Heigho, but the" world is gloomy; The light has failed and the lamp down hurled t Leaves only darkness to me. Love is the light of the world, my dear. Ah me, but the world is dreary; The night is down, and my curtain furled, But I cannot sleep, though weary. Love is the light of the world, my dear, Alas for a hopeless hoping, When the flame- went out in the breeze that swirled, And a soul went blindly groping. Paul Laurence Dunbar. |
