Poem written by Anna Isabella Dumbell at the time when she was training in Bootle General Hospital

Tell me not in mournful numbers,
nursing, is a Happy dream!
For indeed; you want of slumbers;
Things are hardly what they seem.
No enjoyments - Lots of sorrows.
Rows, v matrons, day by day,
constant getting in Hot water.
Lots of 'work', but little play.
Doctors, Matrons, Sisters, Patients.
Though my Heart be stout and brave;
With their trying ways, will drive me
very shortly to my grave.
At the end of three years training,
What at last: - shall be my fate.
Like a broken down old cart horse!
Help will come, but come too late
