At the Theatre Royal, the famous ghost
is The Man in Grey.
In tricorne hat and cloak, he walks
along the 4th row of the Upper Circle
and disappears through the wall.
In the 1840s, a hidden cavity was
found there - and a skeleton with a dagger
in its chest.

And the white rose weeps, "She is late;"
... And the lily whispers, "I wait."
