To Margaret

Edgar Allan Poe·1809–1849
Lines:7Movement:Romanticism
Who hath seduced thee to this foul revoltFrom the pure well of Beauty undefiled?So banish from true wisdom to preferSuch squalid wit to honourable rhyme?To write? To scribble? Nonsense and no more?I will not write upon this argumentTo write is human -- not to write divine.
