THEY SAY THAT 'TIME ASSUAGES' by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: There was no Malady
Subject(s): PAIN; TIME;
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
