mortality
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these
to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting
contempt.—Daniel 12:2
imperfect rest
that steals my body
gone now the jest
of life's parody
here in this crypt
where vermin feast
'tis nondescript
to say the least
but when my change
shall come upon me
count it not strange
death abandon me
for on the first
resurrection morn
mortal shall burst
from the earth, reborn
