As The Curtains Fall

As The Curtains Fall

As The Curtains Fall
And a Show is brought
To an End, Even so
Shall it Be with All Men!

As The Curtains Fall
And, the Actors leave
The stage, Even so
Shall We Leave This World 
When Our Role is Ended

As the Curtains Fall
And the Audience 
Approve or Disapprove
Of the actor’s performance,  
Even so shall Ours Be.

As the Curtains Fall
And the Audience 
File through the Door,  
And the Auditorium is emptied
Even so shall our Homes Be empty

Yes, indeed the 
World is a Stage,
And Men are mere Actors, 
Each has his entry and exit 
None remains on Stage forever. 
Death Sweeps  All Away! 
So, play your role, And Play It Well
