On Filling An Ink-Well

Title:     On Filling An Ink-Well
Author: Christopher Morley [More Titles by Morley]

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!

[The end]
Christopher Morley's poem: On Filling An Ink-Well
