DUST TO DUST by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: EARTH WEDDED, LIFE ATWAIN
Last Line: TO DUST WILL COME AGAIN.
Subject(s): EARTH; WORLD;

"@3In the centre of each snow-crystal or drop of rain is found a minute particle
of dust.@1"

Earth wedded, life atwain
In heaven, were endless pain.
Uplifted from the plain
To realms of snow or rain,
Of dust each lonely grain
To dust will come again.
