LYRICS OF LOVE AND SORROW: 4 by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

First Line: MY DEAR LOVE DIED LAST NIGHT
Last Line: UNROBED LET HER GO TO HER GRAVE.
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;

MY dear love died last night;
Shall I clothe her in white?
My passionate love is dead,
Shall I robe her in red?
But nay, she was all untrue,
She shall not go drest in blue;
Still my desolate love was brave,
Unrobed let her go to her grave.
