I had no heart to join the dance	A
I danced it all so long ago	B
Ah light winged music out of France	A
Let other feet glide to and fro	B
Weaving new patterns of romance	A
For bosoms of new fallen snow	B
	-
But leave me thus where I may hear	C
The leafy rustle of the waltz	D
The shell like murmur in my ear	C
The silken whisper fairy false	E
Of unseen rainbows circling near	F
And the glad shuddering of the walls	G
	-
Another dance the dancers spin	H
A shadow dance of mystic pain	I
And other partners enter in	H
And dance within my lonely brain	I
The swaying woodland shod in green	J
The ghostly dancers of the rain	I
	-
The lonely dancers of the sea	K
Foam footed on the sandy bar	L
The wizard dance of wind and tree	K
The eddying dance of stream and star	L
Yea all these dancers tread for me	K
A measure mournful and bizarre	L
	-
An echo dance where ear is eye	M
And sound evokes the shapes of things	N
Where out of silence and a sigh	M
The sad world like a picture springs	N
As when some secret bird sweeps by	M
We see it in the sound of wings	N
	-
Those human feet upon the floor	O
That eager pulse of rhythmic breath	P
How sadly to an unknown shore	O
Each silver footfall hurryeth	P
A dance of autumn leaves no more	O
On the fantastic wind of death	P
	-
Fire clasped to elemental fire	Q
'Tis thus the solar atom whirls	N
The butterfly in aery gyre	Q
On autumn mornings swarms and swirls	N
In dance of delicate desire	Q
No other than these boys and girls	N
	-
The same strange music everywhere	Q
The woven paces just the same	R
Dancing from out the viewless air	Q
Into the void from whence they came	R
Ah but they make a gallant flare	Q
Against the dark each little flame	R
	-
And what if all the meaning lies	N
Just in the music not in those	N
Who dance thus with transfigured eyes	N
Holding in vain each other close	N
Only the music never dies	N
The dance goes on the dancer goes	N
	-
A woman dancing or a world	S
Poised on one crystal foot afar	Q
In shining gulfs of silence whirled	S
Like notes of the strange music are	Q
Small shape against another curled	S
Or dancing dust that makes a star	Q
	-
To him who plays the violin	H
All one it is who joins the reel	T
Drops from the dance or enters in	H
So that the never ending wheel	T
Cease not its mystic course to spin	H
For weal or woe for woe or weal	T
