THE PEN by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: WITHIN MY PEN WHAT WORDS ARE PENT
Last Line: OPEN THE DOOR AND SET THEM FREE!
Subject(s): PENS & PENCILS;

Within my pen what words are pent,
What mystery, what merriment!

It hath a door, my pen, somewhere,
And what a throng is waiting there!

Bright thoughts are standing all about,
And quivering to be let out.

O could I find the golden key,
Open the door and set them free!
