A Volley of Words


Thane of Towson


     All smeared with pale ashes on Wednesday morn.
To ears of flesh and blood:  List, list, O, list to the few
words of wisdom among the chaff of the Bible--"Dust
thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."  

     Live how we can, yet die we must.  Golden lads
and girls, all must come to dust.  All follow this and
come to forgotten dust.  Fear no more.

     And in dust I write.
