Love's Chastening

    By Paul Laurence Dunbar



    Once Love grew bold and arrogant of air,
    Proud of the youth that made him fresh and fair;
    So unto Grief he spake, "What right hast thou
    To part or parcel of this heart?" Grief's brow
    Was darkened with the storm of inward strife;
    Thrice smote he Love as only he might dare,
    And Love, pride purged, was chastened all his life.
