A Choice
Read 'A Choice' by 'Paul Laurence Dunbar' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
They please me not-- these solemn songs
That hint of sermons covered up.

Not simples brewed to cure or ease
Humanity's confessed disease,
But the spirit-wine of a singing line,
Or a dew-drop in a honey cup!
