SONNET
Suggested by Reading the Remarkable Cure of Captain J. W. Deering
To Dr. P. P. Quimby
| 'Mid light of science sits the sage profound, |
| Awing with classics and his starry lore, |
| Climbing to Venus, chasing Saturn round, |
| Turning his mystic pages o'er and o'er, |
| Till, from empyrean space, his wearied sight |
| Turns to the oasis on which to gaze, |
| More bright than glitters on the brow of night |
| The self-taught man walking in wisdom's ways. |
| Then paused the captive gaze with peace entwined, |
| And sight was satisfied with thee to dwell; |
| But not in classics could the book-worm find |
| That law of excellence whence came the spell |
| Potent o'er all, the captive to unbind, |
| To heal the sick and faint, the halt and blind. |
| Mary M. Patterson. |
