44 issai Paul Dunbar-Robert Frost

Paul Laurence Dunbar


1 We wear the mask that grins and lies,It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,--This debt we pay to human guile;With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,And mouth with myriad subtleties.Why should the world be overwise,In counting all our tears and sighs?Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask.We smile, but, O great Christ, our criesTo thee from tortured souls arise.We sing, but oh the clay is vileBeneath our feet, and long the mile;But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask

2
DREAM on, for dreams are sweet: Do not awaken!Dream on, and at thy feet Pomegranates shall be shaken.Who likeneth the youth Of life to morning?'Tis like the night in truth, Rose-coloured dreams adorning.The wind is soft above, The shadows umber.(There is a dream called Love.) Take thou the fullest slumber!In Lethe's soothing stream, Thy thirst thou slakest.Sleep, sleep; 't is sweet to dream. Oh, weep when thou awakest!








3
COME when the nights are bright with stars Or when the moon is mellow; Come when the sun his golden bars Drops on the hay-field yellow. Come in the twilight soft and gray, Come in the night or come in the day, Come, O love, whene'er you may, And you are welcome, welcome.You are sweet, O Love, dear Love, You are soft as the nesting dove. Come to my heart and bring it rest As the bird flies home to its welcome nest.Come when my heart is full of grief Or when my heart is merry; Come with the falling of the leaf Or with the redd'ning cherry. Come when the year's first blossom blows, Come when the summer gleams and glows, Come with the winter's drifting snows, And you are welcome, welcome.
4
He had his dream, and all through life,Worked up to it through toil and strife.Afloat fore'er before his eyes,It colored for him all his skies: The storm-cloud dark Above his bark,The calm and listless vault of blueTook on its hopeful hue,It tinctured every passing beam -- He had his dream.He labored hard and failed at last,His sails too weak to bear the blast,The raging tempests tore awayAnd sent his beating bark astray. But what cared he For wind or sea!He said, "The tempest will be short,My bark will come to port."He saw through every cloud a gleam -- He had his dream.
5
I know a man With face of tan,But who is ever kind; Whom girls and boys Leaves games and toysEach eventide to find. When day grows dim, They watch for him,He comes to place his claim; He wears the crown Of Dreaming-town;The sand-man is his name. When sparkling eyes Troop sleepywiseAnd busy lips grow dumb; When little heads Nod toward the beds,We know the sand-man's come.

Robert Frost
Roads not Taken
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,Some say in ice.From what I've tasted of desireI hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo say that for destruction iceIs also greatAnd would suffice.

Hannibal

Was there even a cause too lost,Ever a cause that was lost too long,Or that showed with the lapse of time to vainFor the generous tears of youth and song?
Nothing gold can stay
Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

DEVOTION
The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to the ocean--
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition.

Robert Frost essay
Robert Frost

His voice happy and sad and materialist. His message is enjoy life and when you have two choices of were to go in life go with the one you want to do, and when you do, do it with heart and with feelings. And when you lose some thing that value don’t let it be anything material but some body you love but don’t be sad because later you will see there was no purpose of feeling like that. My 5 poem of Robert Frost are 1 Roads not taken, 2 Fire and Ice, 3 Hannibal, 4 Nothing gold can stay, and 5 Devotion.

1 Roads not taken
This poem is happy. The explanation in this poem is every little thing affects your life. The character in the poem goes through the one were nobody went through and that what made the difference in his life. The message is if there are two things you can do in life choose wisely because one can take you farther than the other.

2 Fire and Ice
The poem is sad. The poem is sad because it’s talking about the end of the world. The explanation in this poem is fire and ices are both destructive. The message in this poem is you have a choice and use it.

3 Hannibal
This poem is sad. The poem is sad because if you lose something of great value you will cry. The character in his poem losses some thing he valued but then he discovers that why was he crying if there was no point of it. The message in this poem is never be sad because there is no pint of feeling that way.

4 Nothing gold can stay
This poem is no materialism. The poem is no materialism because no material thing can stay. The message in this poem is you shouldn’t be so materialist with things. And when you die you can take it with you.

5 Devotion
This poem is happy. These poems I happy because it is telling you when you want to do something do it with heart. The message in this poem is do everything by hearth don’t just do it because you have to do it because you like it.


I choose Robert Frost because he is a good poet. He writes under the surface. I like to know the meaning or how I look at the poem. It’s like a detective trying to find evidence. I like his poems because they are hard.
Paul Dunbar
Invitation to love

Same like poem
Come o come love come. Come in the earth come in the plants come in the dirt. Come o come every day when ever you may. Come in June come in January or in May. Come in the bag come in the mail. Come wherever anywhere and always.
Robert Frost
Found poem

FIRE and ice
Some say the World will end in FIRE Some say in ICE
I hold with those who favour fire. If it had to perish twice I know enough of hate that ice is also great
