He Had His Dream
by Paul Dunbar

He had his dream, and all through life
Worked up to it through toil and strife
Afloat forever before his eyes
It colored for him all his skies
The storm-cloud dark
Above his bark
The calm and listless vault of blue
Took on its hopeful hue
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 away
And 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
