Royal Opera House
Covent Garden
London,
England
Once at Covent
Garden
Romeo and Juliet
to see
a fine ballet
by Prokofiev
a Russian composer
was he
It lilted, it waned
triumphant and sad
the music
took us to a ball
to Capulets and Montegues'
feud
outside the great hall
When Romeo killed
Juliet's brother
it was impossible
for their love
To continue
on was
not to be
unless
they
ran
away
free
A plan was made
Romeo took
sleeping potion
Juliet thought
him dead
alas she
killed herself
Romeo
awoke
found her
dead
