In The Valley Of The Shadow

1st Spirit

I am this moment freed from earth.


2d Spirit

And I a captive bound to birth.
Who art thou?


1st Spirit

Flesh and blood to be
Cleave not closer unto thee.


2d Spirit

My father?


1st Spirit

Yea.


A mingling breath
They drew. Then rival Life and Death,
As if rebuking Love's delay,
Drove each his fate-determined way.
