Horace P. Biddle
Wine, War, and Love

Wine from reveling was drunken,
Soon bright eyes were dull and sunken;
Love was there to soothe the pain
Soon dull eyes were bright again.

War was raging, blood was flowing,
Death, with glass and scythe, was mowing;
War sank down, then love arose,
Healed his wounds and cured his woes.

Love, the wisest, best physician,
Sees and knows our true condition;
All our pains he will endure,
And our cares and sorrows cure!
