Love's Death 3. Sacrament: Eileen Feldman,
pianist, with composer/bass-baritone David
​Edgar Walther; 
poem by Emily Dickinson:​


While it is alive Until Death touches it
While it and I lap one Air
Dwell in one Blood under one Sacrament
Show me Division can split or pare -
​
Love is like Life - merely longer

Love is like Death, during the Grave
Love is the Fellow of Resurrection
​Scooping up the Dust and chanting "Live"!
