Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 553
An Actors life it is my choice,—A calling rich and rare,— With gesture wild and mighty voiceTo strut in the limelights glare. The painted scenes would quake and fall Like walls of Jericho;The stage hands all would run away,— My tones would thunder so. … An Actors life it is my choice,—A calling rich and pare,—With gesture wild and mighty voiceTo strut in the limelights glare.
