Beautifully it holds our words, our thoughts we put in it
This light weight thing has immense power
For a man of letters the paper is always fit
And in it writers scribble and doodle at every hour

Generations have passed, but the words haven’t
Inscribed in it are many, many events
It never discriminates between the rich and the poor
Knowledge is the same; one seeks less and one more.
