Only Man.
The curtain fails and the play is done,
The tired actors, one by one.
Lay by the gown, the rags, the crown.
That made them king, and sage ana
clown;
And step out from the greenroom door,
| Each but a man and nothing more;
And they leave the mimic JOY and
strife.
To step outdoors into real life;
And under the night sky's star-fcckcd
Adown the darklng roadwaN-home.
Even rs YOU ana |, some day,
VIII end earth's little passion-play,
Lay by the trappinss Of the stage.
That made us king, OF clown or sage.
| And step out from carths grccnroom
| door.
| Only IA man and nothing more.
| We leave earth's mimic JOY ana strife
And enter there into Real Life.
And under High Heavens Christ arch
dome
Through the graves silent darkness
