I'm weary Of paint and powder,
I'm weary OF eyebrows and curls.
And the busy soubrette who sings louder
Than all OF the rest Of the girls
And my fancy turns TO the past TO dwell
On the lassic who used 10 recte
The STOW they tell
OF the curfew bell
Foroidden to ring tonight.
I'm tired OF the leading lady.
with the frovn and the alto voice.
IN the past that's described AS shady
Ho-more can my heart rejoice
TO that curfew lassie-the village pride
My memory once more inclnes
Who sweetly tried
And almost cried
Because she forgot her lines
No queen Of the drama is half so fair

And none with such artless youth.

That curtains the scenes OF old!

For a place 10 hear
That tale OF the curfew told.
