EPITAPH ON AN AMATEUR SOPRANO
ОглавлениеHer final note has now been sent,
Her final chord’s undone.
After life’s gloom, death should present
Her moment in the sun.
Alas, she has the worst of fates –
She must in Limbo stay
And wait outside the Pearly Gates
For ever and a day.
She’s not shut out because of sin.
Her virtue’s plain to see.
It’s just … she never knew when to come in,
And could never find the key.
