Beloved Physician

by Edgar Allan Poe · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

The pulse beats ten and intermits;

God nerve the soul that ne'er forgets

In calm or storm, by night or day,

Its steady toil, its loyalty.

[... ]

The pulse beats ten and intermits;

God shield the soul that ne'er forgets.

[... ]


[... ]

The pulse beats ten and intermits;

God guide the soul that ne'er forgets.

[... ]


[... ] so tired, so weary,

The soft head bows, the sweet eyes close,

The faithful heart yields to repose.
