To a Friend [Charles Lamb] who had declared his intention of writing no more Poetry.

by Sara Teasdale · 1796 · Beauty & Art
My dear friend Lamb! Why dost thou now refrain,
From songs that once did charm the listening ear?
Let not thy muse in silent sorrow wane,
But wake again, and banish every fear.
