Sickness

Maladies tides washed in waves of affliction
Besetting the body in floods of disorder
Depriving the senses of congruity
And physical tenement depleted
In a portentous defeat of malaise
Consumed in an vast exhaustion
Of decrepitude and enervation
Awaiting health to yield her remedial balm
With exuberant vivacity and
The verdancy of well-being reinstated;
Fine fettle recalibrated
