Written Upon The Cover Of A Blotting Book

________________________________________________
Title:     Written Upon The Cover Of A Blotting Book
Author: Charles Lamb [More Titles by Lamb]

Blank tho' I be, within you'll find
Relics of th' enraptured mind:
Where truth and fable, mirth and wit,
Are safely here deposited.
The placid, furious, envious, wise,
Impart to me their secresies;
Here hidden thoughts in blotted line
Nor sybil can the sense divine;
Lethe and I twin sisters be--
Then, stranger, open me and see.






[The end]
