IDENTITY

by: Thomas Bailey Aldrich (1836-1906)

OMEWHERE--in desolate wind-swept space--

In Twilight-land--in No-man's land--

Two hurrying Shapes met face to face,

And bade each other stand.

 

"And who are you?" cried one a-gape,

Shuddering in the gloaming light.

"I know not," said the second Shape,

"I only died last night!"
