London Dawn
I strolled around old London town
And walked to Maiden Lane;*
I closed my eyes, imagined them,
Despite the pouring rain.
I swear I heard a roaring crowd,
But no one could I see,
And then I heard a single voice:
‘To be or not to be…’
The play had ended with the dawn,
And shadows took a bow;
I smiled at him, and he at me;
I didn’t ponder how.
I stood alone, the silence loud;
And knew I’d been there, in the crowd.
*now Park Street
