QUATRAIN: THE PARCAE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN THEIR DARK HOUSE OF CLOUD
Last Line: ONE WAITS TO CUT THE THREAD.
Subject(s): TIME;
IN their dark House of Cloud
The three weird sisters toil till time be sped:
One unwinds life; one ever weaves the shroud;
One waits to cut the thread.
