vintageanchor: “For A Poet”I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth,And laid them away in a box of gold;Where long will cling the lips of the moth,I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth;I hide no hate; I am not even wrothWho found the earth’s breath so keen and cold;I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth,And laid them away in a box of gold. —Countee CullenToday is the anniversary of the birth of Harlem Renaissance poet Countee Cullen (born today in 1903; d.1946).
