MY LITTLE DREAMS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: I'M FOLDING UP MY LITTLE DREAMS
Last Line: TONIGHT, WITHIN MY HEART.
Subject(s): AFRICAN AMERICANS - WOMEN; DREAMS; NIGHTMARES;
I'm folding up my little dreams
Within my heart tonight,
And praying I may soon forget
The torture of their sight.

For time's deft fingers scroll my brow
With fell relentless art --
I'm folding up my little dreams
Tonight, within my heart.
