For A Poet by Countee Cullen

Countee CullenAbout
The poet had to put dreams away to be opened at a better time and place in the future. My wrapping them he is showing care and love for these dreams.
For A Poet Annotated
I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth,
And laid them away in a box of gold;
Where long will cling the lips of the moth,
I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth;
I hide no hate; I am not even wroth
Who found the earth's breath so keen and cold;
I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth,
And laid them away in a box of gold.
