A Golden Day

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


I have a soft spot for simple, sincere poems. And I think this poem is somewhat more beautiful when you don't make it to be about relationships.
