So stately so slow each step that she made.
And graceful the head that she bent;
The old fashioned fan that at times cast a shade
Such air Of true elegance lent;
The place of the dance gave place to my
thought,
And ! dreamed of the days that dead;
The spell OF the dance was by sorcery wrought,
And the hurrying modern days fed.
II was peace, the sweet rest OF the olden day
When all idols not overthrown,
When romance still lived and, king love held
sway,
Before Mammon to ruler had grown,
And all those who watched were bewitched by ths
dance,
And they dreamed till the measure was Ger;
Today was forgot in the short backward glance
And the charms Of the day gone before.

low,
While the shadows were spread far and wide.
But the shadows were msty-a softened gray
In accord with the slow melody;
The light Of the fire drove the dark lines away.
While IL lent all sweet mystery.
Both dancers courtly and figures OF grace,
Yet the maid held my fancy alone;
The glow gave blush to her beautiful face;
In her dark eyes a farer light shone.
And then as she curtesied so stately, so slow.
With the grace Of an age that is past.
II seemed like dream OF the long, long ago
Like dream that | knew could not last.
