Analysis of Eat the Scroll
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Eat whatever you find,
Eat the scroll and go speak;
You will nourish the mind,
Discover what you seek.
Open your mouth and you eat,
That you can eat the scroll;
Food for the mind complete,
It will nourish your soul.
Let your belly be fed,
So that it fills your gut;
Digest what its Word said,
To satisfy your glut.
In the mouth, you shall eat,
Tasting just like honey;
The Word tastes mighty sweet,
Dispels your agony.
