Owed To Rheumatism



Companion to the devil!
You, whose vice-like grip lays hold of man
Without a breath of warning,
Whence do you come, and what your gain?
You have the strength of Hercules,
The swiftness of an arrow;
You have the patience of a Job,
And all the elements of hell
Are in your bony fingers!



May 15, 1895
