THE SCRIBE, by ANONYMOUS First Line: A leafy grove surrounds me quite Last Line: Well speeds my quill beneath the copse Subject(s): Writing & Writers | ||||||||
A leafy grove surrounds me quite; For my delight the blackbirds flute; While o'er my little book's lined words Sweet warbling birds their Scribe salute. The Cuckoo in his mantle grey Cries on all day through lush tree tops. And verily--God shield me still! Well speeds my quill beneath the copse. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CELL, SELECTION by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 126: THE DOUBTING MAN by LYN HEJINIAN WAKING THE MORNING DREAMLESS AFTER LONG SLEEP by JANE HIRSHFIELD COMPULSIVE QUALIFICATIONS by RICHARD HOWARD DEUTSCH DURCH FREUD by RANDALL JARRELL LET THEM ALONE by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON BUILDING WITH STONE by ROBINSON JEFFERS TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
