79. Song

By Adelaide Crapsey


I MAKE my shroud, but no one knows—
So shimmering fine it is and fair,
With stitches set in even rows.
I make my shroud, but no one knows.

In door-way where the lilac blows,	5
Humming a little wandering air,
I make my shroud and no one knows,
So shimmering fine it is and fair.
