FINALE by THOMAS CASEY

First Line: FORTH I WANDER, FORTH I MUST
Last Line: I HAVE DIED AS MORTALS DO.
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;

Forth I wander, forth I must,
To a chamber in the dust.

Here is freedom, all the worth
Which I did not find on earth.

Make my bed, for I am through;
I have died as mortals do.
