"I know why the caged bird sings""ah me!""When the sun is bright on the upland slopes""Sing on, sweet bird!""till our hearts take wing""We wear the mask""that grins and lies""Dayton — 1872"
Dayton's Poet
Paul Laurence Dunbar
Born in Dayton in 1872, Paul Laurence Dunbar was one of the first African American poets to gain national acclaim — a son of the Gem City whose verses still drift through these streets.
"I know why the caged bird sings, ah me, when his wing is bruised and his bosom sore…"
— Sympathy, 1899
