DOCTOR'S DUTY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Could I know in all my lifetime
Last Line: And -- deity!
Subject(s): Physicians; Doctors


Could I know in all my lifetime,
Some wizard way,
What a village doctor has to
Know every day; --

Could I do in half a decade,
By magic power,
What a village doctor's got to
Do hour by hour; --

Could I be the kinds of wonder
He has to be,
I should be a Bacon, Caesar,
And -- Deity!
