The Physician
She comes when I am grieving and doth say, "Child, here is that shall drive your grief away." When I am hopeless, kisses me and stirs My breast with the strong lively courage of hers. Proud--she will humble me with but a word, Or with mild mockery at my folly gird; Fickle--she holds me with her loyal eyes; Remorseful--tells of neighbouring Paradise; Envious--"Be not so mad, so mad," she saith, "Envied and envier both race with Death" She my good Angel is: and who is she?-- The soul's divine Physician, Memory.
