The Triple Shroud

Mason A. Freeman, Jr.

THIS is the triple shroud,

Spun of a single thread

On spindles of the whirling worlds

In thundering halls of dread;

It makes the living shine as flame,

And resurrects the dead.

Life is the shroud of love,

Woven of dust and breath.

Death is the shroud of life;

Love is the shroud of death.
