dustbin of history

who now would mourn the elegance now past
the days of ease and music and sweet dance
all swept away by brutal truth's advance

into the maelstrom the old has been cast
no more will debs and dandies lightly prance
who now would mourn the elegance now past

the servants will keep silence till the last
and then will leave without a backward glance
leaving the masters to old change and chance
who now would mourn the elegance now past
