Read 'Love's Draft' by 'Paul Laurence Dunbar' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
The draft of love was cool and sweet
You gave me in the cup,
But, ah, love's fire is keen and fleet,
And I am burning up.
Unless the tears I shed for you
Shall quench this burning flame,
It will consume me through and through,
[Pg 253]And leave but ash—a name.
