April 21 - Leonard Warren (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

 Leonard Warren (21 April 1911 – 4 March 1960) was a great American operatic baritone.

[For last year's remarks on Randall Thompson click here.]


 

Tempus fugit


Leonard Warren died on stage, 

Though only in his middle age.


Thus, the moral if you’re one

Who likes to finish what’s begun:


Take the lead and have your say,

Don’t delay another day.


Make a splash and kick the door in!

Death comes soon, viz. Leonard Warren.
