TO THE MEMORY OF PAUL

LAWRENCE DUBAR
"The earth grew silent when thy voice
departed.
The home too lonely whence thy steI
had fed,
What then was left for her the brok
en- hearted
When silence passed its seal and thou
vert dead?
A short time since surrounded in thy
glory,
The ornament of eminence and fame
The lips now, cold and lifeless tell ne
story
Yet in our hearts thy songs are just
the same.
Sleep calmly in thy subterranean
dwelling
Which knows no color. tongue no SECT
or kind
Be mine the noble task Of ever tell
ing
A fitting tribute for thy lofty mind.
Thy dear persuasive accent which we
often
And so lately heard with joyous trust
Have gone. no more our longing
hearts to soften
Where mortals mix in undistinguish
ed DIST.
To life so usefl yet so transitory
Ye emulous OF his talents and his
fame
Erect lasting monument of glory
To mark the passing of so great q
name.
Thou hast shown the world the gold:

To caste or sect or color undefine ]
A fair field alone may tell the story
A free arena for the strife of mind
Tho far removed from US thou still
art living
Proof that the negro's, heart retains
The power no earthly hand has ever
Pure nobleness' amidst its mighty
chains.
Gone where no pride of caste assails

Where men may speak unshackle1

Where saints immortal kindly bid
another
Join with equal share the glory of our
God. ,

Freed by the blood that Christ has

A VISION BRIGHT.

Last night as in sleep
The land of dream explored,
l thought that l was travelling
Upon winding road
Filled with AL kinds of flowers,
From sweet pea to the rose,
That lit up with all their splendor
This floral winning road.
But the thing that took my eye
Was a great big clover tree,
That seemed to have attractions
More than all the rest Tor me,
And up to this great big tree
With foot step light went
in trying TO find q lucky four;
Ny nigh, dean was spent.
And much to my surprise
l conld find nothing but three,
And this tree SO tall and great,
Was going away from me,
And l began to hear such music
AS l never heard before,
1t seemed to me the angels
Had opened the heavenly door.
l saw many we'll dressed actors
Pass through my dream last mig hit,
And of the many people there;
was the only black among the whit
Was this cream sign to me
AS one of u striving race?
That in this world of progress
have an active place.
