A Man of No Importance the Musical - Poem Lyrics
ALFIE: (spoken)
I used to think the most thrilling words
in the English language were “at rise,”
as we opened our books to the first page
of the playwright’s text.
But I was wrong.
The most thrilling words
in the English language are these…
Good morning, my dear friends.
ST. IMELDA’S PLAYERS: (spoken)
Good morning, Mr. Byrne.
ALFIE: (spoken)
Shall we form our little circle?
Perhaps for the last time.
Here, Robbie, you read.
ROBBIE: (spoken)
“Like two doomed ships that pass in storm
We had crossed each other’s way
But we made no sign
We said no word
We had no word to say
For we did not meet in the holy night,
But in the shameful day.
The prison wall was ‘round us both
Two outcast men, we were.
The world had thrust us from its hand,
And God, from out his care.”
ST. IMELDA’S PLAYERS:
A man of no importance…
[Thanks to Julia Labusch for the lyrics]
