SUMMO COMMISSO MlSSI Twenty-Five To the Graduates THE NURSE They call her Florence Nightingale in jest, But there’s a spark of earnestness behind their eyes That she, high priestess, does not realize, She only knows she does her simple best, Performing grave, mysterious rites, aware That often she has power to fan the spark Of life to glowing flame when it is dark And quiet in the wards, and death stalks there. She seems so young to have upon her slim Proud shoulders, such a weight of grief and pain; a She should be walking through a leafy lane, Or dancing somewhere where the lights are dim, Or should she—whom so many lips must bless, With such profound and utter thankfulness? ❖ ❖ ❖ Ashmore—(Sticking head out of nursery)— “For goodness sakes.

Knock as you might, there’s nobody at home. A little learning is a dangerous thing, Drink deep or taste not the Puerian spring. In words like fashions, the same rule will hold. Alike fantastic if too new or old. Be not the first by whom the new is tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. Hope springs eternal in the human breast. Man never is, but always to be blest. —Alexander Pope.
