Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Life's Opera

Like an opera-house is the world I ween,
Where the passionate lover of music is seen
    In the balcony near the roof:
While the very best seat in the first stage-box
Is filled by the person who laughs and talks
    Through the harmony's warp and woof.

1. The Plow of God
2. When I Die
3. The Empty Bowl
4. At Set of Sun
5. But a Dream
