I couldn't find the author for this. It's apparently out of a poetry book or magazine. I have a couple of pages from it. Every page has the same art on the front and back. There are the initials "E.L" in the bottom left corner - I'm assuming it's the artist. My other page is framed and I don't want to open it up to check.

I suspect this is a specific type of poem, but I'm not a poetry expert, so feel free to tell me what it is.

In The Spot Light

This is in confidence: Long, long ago

I sat and worshiped her from the front row,

Thought her entrancing

And vowed that her dancing

Rivaled the music in rhythmical flow.

Ah, it is different when one is old-

Locks may grow scanty and hearts may grow cold,

But she is dancing

And airily glancing

Over the footlights – still young, I am told!
