A GRACE BEFORE WRITING, by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEYPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: This is a sacrament, I think! Last Line: May none but honest words be penned! Alternate Author Name(s): Hall, Galway
THIS is a sacrament, I think! Holding the bottle toward the light, As blue as lupin gleams the ink; May Truth be with me as I write!
That small dark cistern may afford Reunion with some vanished friend, -- And with this ink I have just poured May none but honest words be penned!
