My little dreams

I'm folding up my little dreams
Within my heart to-night,
And praying I may soon forget
The torture of their sight.

For Time's deft fingers scroll my brow
With fell relentless art --
I'm folding up my little dreams
To-night, within my heart!

by Georgia Douglas Johnson (1880-1966) , from The Book of American Negro Poetry, published 1922
