the genial sun, to rest, maybe, once

hidden from our peering eyes, and we
can only stand and gaze upon the

fresh risen from the wide sea, and

From the mountain cave out-flashing,

The Masquerade.


Masked dancers in the dance of life,
we move sedately YEARLY to-
gether
Afraid to show a sign of inward strife,
We hold our souls in tether.
We dance with proud and smiling lips,
With frank appealing eyes, with shy
hands clinging.
We sing. and few will question If there
slips
A sob into our singing.
Each has a certain step to learn,
Our prisoned feet move staidly in set
PAGES.
And to and fro we pass, since life is
stern,
Patiently, with masked faces.
Yet some there are who will not dance,
They sit apart most sorrowful and
splendid,
But all the rest trip on as in a trance,
Until the Dance Is ended.
