To Esther Field

Title:     To Esther Field
Author: Charles Lamb [More Titles by Lamb]

Esther, holy name and sweet,
Smoothly runs on even feet,
To the mild Acrostic bending;
Hebrew recollections blending.
Ever keep that Queen in view--
Royal namesake--bold, and true!

Firm she stood in evil times,
In the face of Haman's crimes.--
Ev'n as She, do Thou possess
Loftiest virtue in the dress,
Dear F----, of native loveliness.

[The end]
Charles Lamb's poem: To Esther Field
