Excerpt from Annie B: The Dying Girl
The physician has come out from the room of the young Annie B., and in the sitting room of the family home he meets Edward G., who earnestly questions the grave-looking family physician.
Edward:
Will she not live? Cannot your skill restore?
Surely, so young, so fair, she is not doomed
In life's fresh morn to die. I cannot bear -
How can I bear the thought of losing her?
A few short months ago we were betrothed.
My heart, my life, my plans of life are all
Bound up in her. Oh, doctor, do not say
That she must die. But I can read no hope
In your grave look. Tell me the worst, the truth.
