Life of Letters

I'll earn a living joining letters; Threading those small to some big, And others smaller than them; To make a tree and it's twig, Supported by so strong a stem. My life shall be that of letters And cherishing their family Of words and phrases, For these are strange and comely. I'll break from lethargy's fetters, And earn a living stringing letters.
