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. Sapphires
2. At Eleusis
3. Sonnets of Sorrow. 20. There always was a longing in your heart
4. Victory-1918
5. As by Fire
