A Book is like a Scattered Seed



A book is like a scattered seed . . .
That falls upon a well ploughed ground
It sounds its living message, as I read
As it draws through me the inner life it calls

Its gifted words it buries in me deep . . .
Unknown their entry into the dark within;
In my heart, it has no knowledge of its abode 
Only of its will to sow itself a living seed in me
