The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/Love's Draft

LOVE'S DRAFT
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,
And leave but ash—a name.
