Death & Dying
The Threshold
Translated by Rennell Rodd (1916) · From Love, Worship and Death (1916)
Death & Dying
Spirit of Birth, that gave me life,
Earth, that receives my clay,
Farewell, for I have travelled
The stage that twixt you lay.
I go, and have no knowledge
From whence I came to you,
Nor whither I shall journey,
Nor whose I am, nor who.
