  • efter: (Danish) after
  • "After the Ball :", American popular song written in the 1890s by Charles K. Harris for the musical comedy A Trip to Chinatown. A waltz. it became one of the most popular songs of its era. Lyrics are as follows:
 A little maiden climbed an old man's knee
 Begged for a story - "Do, uncle, please!"
 Why are you single; why live alone?
 Have you no babies; have you no home?"
 "I had a sweetheart, years, years ago;
 Where she is now, pet, you will soon know.
 List to the story, I'll tell it all,
 I believed her faithless, after the ball."
 After the ball is over,
 After the break of morn -
 After the dancers' leaving;
 After the stars are gone;
 Many a heart is aching,
 If you could read them all;
 Many the hopes that have vanished
 After the ball.
