Paul Laurence Dunbar - Dream Song II lyrics

Pray, what can dreams avail To make love or to mar? The child within the cradle rail Lies dreaming of the star. But is the star by this beguiled To leave its place and seek the child? The poor plucked rose within its gla** Still dreameth of the bee; But, tho' the lagging moments pa**, Her Love she may not see. If dream of child and flower fail, Why should a maiden's dreams prevail?
