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. A Service of Song
2. Love’s Baptism
3. Rouge et Noir
4. The Heart Asks Pleasure First
5. If You Were Coming in the Fall
