DOCTORS, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Every night I lie awake Last Line: Conferring at my side. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Physicians; Sickness; Doctors; Illness | |||
EVERY night I lie awake And every day I lie abed And hear the doctors, Pain and Death, Conferring at my head. They speak in scientific tones, Professional and low-- One argues for a speedy cure, The other, sure and slow. To one so humble as myself It should be matter for some pride To have such noted fellows here, Conferring at my side. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SICK CHILD by RANDALL JARRELL AFTERNOON AT MACDOWELL by JANE KENYON HAVING IT OUT WITH MELANCHOLY by JANE KENYON SONNET: 9.
