Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

They say that "Time assuages" —
Time never did assuage —
An actual suffering strengthens
As Sinews do, with age —

Time is a Test of Trouble —
But not a Remedy —
If such it prove, it prove too
There was no Malady —

1. The Wife
2. Rouge Gagne
3. The Book of Martyrs
4. Whether My Bark Went Down at Sea
5. Belshazzar Had a Letter
