dear friend and physician:
gazed upon thy still, cold form,
Twas hard to see thee thus;
And think of thee, physician, friend,
AS one now dead TO US.

Upon thy burial day,
saw the hearse that bore
Thy pallid corpse away.
1t was so sad to part,
With one SO dear to all,
Who had been ever quick,
To answer every call.
Thou hast done thy share,
AS every one must do,
No more can be required
OF one so kind and true.
We know that thou art gone,
To the eternal land of rest,
Then why should we regret,
That thou art now among the blest
