PLAY OVER.
The curtain fall'n, the audience gone,
The theatre left dark and cold,
Stage-feasts forgot, stage-titles flown,
No more grand words, emprises bold;—
The theatre left dark and cold,
Stage-feasts forgot, stage-titles flown,
No more grand words, emprises bold;—
The actors are not left in gloom;
The curtain-fall but set them free
To enjoy true feasts, true names assume,—
To live in wide reality.
The curtain-fall but set them free
To enjoy true feasts, true names assume,—
To live in wide reality.
