Poet Analysis

First Line: I SIGHED FOR THEMES TO WRITE ON
Last Line: "OH FOR A WORTHY PEN!"
Subject(s): FOSTER, PHOEBE (1916-1975); WRITING & WRITERS;
I SIGHED for themes to write on;
A subject for my pen
To work its matchless might on—
Worthy my skill—and then—

A maid hight Phoebe Foster
Swam—dove—into my ken.
I gazed and gazed and sighed, amazed;
"Oh for a worthy pen!"
