A Golden Day

User Rating:

7.8 /10
(52 votes)



  I Found you and I lost you,
All on a gleaming day.
The day was filled 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.

Paul Laurence Dunbar

The lamentation of love lost at the end of a day's infatuation; and yet, the memory of that day will probably loom larger than the reality of it, and make it May once more.

Beautiful love poem! Memories of a love one are life time dreams.

Poem nice and full of emotions, who aren't alien to the man. Everyone who loved or loves, is knowing it well. Who doesn't, has a chance to get to know, it is
like it :) Love is something beautiful what can happen to us. not important when, because it is a truth, that dreams are then May when we are dreaming of the beloved person.

I wish everyone who are reading this poem, much love and the much good. :)
