The Book

From "In" to "end"...

this book is his...

no man of earth...

is graced for this...

tis God's alone...

for who...

aside from God...

could ever pen...

so wonderful a thing...

mayhap...

it even fell from high...

one scroll of many...

from some...

mansion'd hall...

where heaven's...

angels study...

if it were this...

a fallen boon...

now overdue...

from some great...

distan'd library...

should we not...

for our sake...

glean...

these drops...

of everlasting dew...

one poet...

to the lot...

can you attest...

ability...

so blessed as...

this...

this elvish thing...

so smith'd...

to hold you...

at your dying breath...

and make you...

live again...

I think not...

yet...

one has done...

and it is he...

I seek...

in hope to find...

thus...

noting ev'ry verse...

of scripture timed...

to come upon...

at last...
