The Poet and His Book

"The Poet and His Book" by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)

Lift this little book,
Turn the tattered pages,
Read me, do not let me die !
Search the fading letters, finding
Steadfast in the broken binding
All that once was I !

From Millay, Edna St. Vincent. Second April New York: Mitchell Kennerley, 1921. pp. 39-46.
