We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades out eye--
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over wise
In counting alll our tears and sighs?
Nay,let them only see us while
We wear the mask.
We smile,but O great Christ,our cries
Tot hee from tortured souls arise
We sing,but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet ,and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask.[/color][/b]
