A Dancing Girl
And in your pale fantastic face,
And in your smile we seem to trace,
The fairy with its bright wings furled.
And in your smile we seem to trace,
The fairy with its bright wings furled.
A water nymph you may have been
With heavy lilies in your hair,
Or mermaid swinging in the green
Deep sea, or dryad stretched unseen
Among frail leaves and blossoms fair.
With heavy lilies in your hair,
Or mermaid swinging in the green
Deep sea, or dryad stretched unseen
Among frail leaves and blossoms fair.
Now, from a lighted stage you glance
Smiling, oh, Sorceress unknown,
And we who watch you in a trance
Enchanted by your mystic dance
Forget how sad the world has grown.
Smiling, oh, Sorceress unknown,
And we who watch you in a trance
Enchanted by your mystic dance
Forget how sad the world has grown.
