ONE TO ANOTHER by KENNETH S. DENISON

First Line: WHEN THE LIPS HAVE TURNED TO DUST
Last Line: WHO SHALL LONG FOR THAT FROZEN TOUCH?
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;

When the lips have turned to dust
And the cold winter of death
Has touched the fingers forever,
Shall it be you or I,
In the summer of desire,
Who shall long for that frozen touch?
