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. Behold the Earth
2. The Birth of the Orchid
3. The Black Charger
4. In England
5. All the World
