Sara Teasdale Sara Teasdale Doctors
- Every night I lie awake
- And every day I lie abed
- And hear the doctors, Pain and Death,
- Confering 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.
