Birthday Wishes to a Physician (Lizelia Augusta Jenkins Moorer Poems)
Birthday greetings From a friend, All thy meetings Peace attend. Time extended Be thy store, Bliss appended Evermore. Did the flowers Born of May, From their bowers Choose a day? Music ringing, On the air, Flowers springing Everywhere. Chanting gayly, Five and eight, Make the day we Celebrate. Where's the doctor? Can you tell, How she make her Patients well? Soul of beauty, Day by day, To her duty Hies away. With the sickest, Day and night, In the thickest Of the fight. Heaven's treasure Be thine end, Is the measure Of a friend. (Lizelia Augusta Jenkins Moorer)
