Analysis of Nerves
Gamaliel Bradford 1863 (Boston, Massachusetts) – 1932
Nerves are most extraordinary,
Full of useful information,
At a moment's notice merry
With abounding cacchination,
Then with subtle transformation,
Dreary as a cemetery
Just prepared for occupation.—
Nerves are most extraordinary.
