Identity

by Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Somewhere—in desolate wind-swept space—   In Twilight-land—in No-man’s-land— Two hurrying Shapes met face to face,   And bade each other stand. “And who are you?” cried one a-gape,   Shuddering in the gloaming light. “I know not,” said the second Shape,   “I only died last night!”
