by Adelaide Crapsey (1878 - 1914)

Language: English 
I make my shroud but no one knows,
So shimmering fine it is and fair,
With stitches set in even rows.
I make my shroud but no one knows.

In door-way where the lilac blows,
Humming a little wandering air,
I make my shroud and no one knows,
So shimmering fine it is and fair.

Composition:

    Set to music by Hugo Weisgall (1912 - 1997), "Song", op. 1 no. 2, published 1940 [ soprano, piano ], from Four Songs, no. 2
