Analysis of The Cure
Will anything serve to lessen,
the ache your heart now feels
Will providence bring a blessing,
if before the throne you kneel
Will the pain be slave or master,
can the church bells ring once more
Will your pulse beat ever faster,
—if your faith provides the cure
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)
