Life, a Play <br />In three parts, now <br />Is two parts done. <br /> <br />In this, <br />The final interval <br />We rearrange our scores, <br />The Orchestra, still poised <br />Will sit <br />To practice discords <br />At the pit. <br /> <br />Then like rent cloth <br />The curtains start, <br />The stage is lit; <br />And I would venture <br />At my part... <br /> <br />Were I not so <br />Afraid of it. <br /> <br />24 January 1984<br /><br />David Lewis Paget<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/audition/
