I WRITE by EMMA MAGRUDER COOK

First Line: BECAUSE MY SOUL IS GROPING FOR THE LIGHT, I WRITE
Last Line: AND SO TO GIVE THEM BIRTH, I WRITE.
Subject(s): WRITING & WRITERS;
Because my soul is groping for the light, I write.
The unborn children of my brain
Cry day and night,
"Give us the right to stretch our wings in flight,
Imprisoned thus, our powers lose their might,"
And so to give them birth, I write.
