Hist! - the sonorous orchestral ambience and the arabesque-slane'd ballerina,
   Her wee feet in an alacritic maelstrom-twirl,
   And the dust-hurl with her tears blendeth - Egad! this quagmire;
   Pasteth her unaptly apt feet to the stage:
   Like the wither'd rose of the luciferous Eden
   By the mummer'd-masquerader espied vigilly and mockingly,
   His behesting visage, tho' ruddily mummer'd 'tis -
   Embower'd and eddying oft and eft gloam by gloam,
   Her sweetness ne'er cloy - further! further! -
   His scratching and dallying hollow-hearted eyes
   Her breasts and vestal heart caress,
   And like the dove and bird of prey leapeth she aerily,
   Whileas the orchestra playeth on travailingly;
   His one and sole swath
   With the pizzicato'd ensemble blendeth -
   And her umbral foetal scream -
   As the song climaxeth
   And slowly
   Dieth away...
