Explore "The Phantom Ball" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
You remember the hall on the corner? / To-night as I walked down street / I heard the sound of music, / And the rhythmic beat and beat, / In time to the pulsing measure / Of lightly tripping feet.
And I turned and entered the doorway -- / It was years since I had been there -- / Years, and life seemed altered: / Pleasure had changed to care. / But again I was hearing the music / And watching the dancers fair.
