| Alone apart one dancer watches | F |
| Her mirrored morbid grace | G |
| Before the mirror face to face | G |
| Alone she watches | F |
| Her morbid vague ambiguous grace | G |
| - | |
| Before the mirror's dance of shadows | H |
| She dances in a dream | I |
| And she and they together seem | I |
| A dance of shadows | H |
| Alike the shadows of a dream | I |

| The orange rosy lamps are trembling | D |
| Between the robes that turn | J |
| In ruddy flowers of flame that burn | J |
| The lights are trembling | D |
| The shadows and the dancers turn | J |

| And enigmatically smiling | D |
| In the mysterious night | K |
| She dances for her own delight | K |
| A shadow smiling | D |
| Back to a shadow in the night | K |
