Classic and Contemporary Poetry

AND THEN? by HELEN D. BASSETT

First Line: WHY DO WE ENTER THIS QUEER WORLD OF OURS
Last Line: SURELY, THIS IS NOT ALL!
Subject(s): MORTALITY;
Why do we enter this queer world of ours,
Since we have such a little while to stay?
Our listening spirits answer to a call --
We come -- we linger -- gather weeds and flowers --
Then go our way.
Surely, this is not all!
