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.
