Black lacqueys at the wide flung door	A
Stand mute as men of wood	B
Gleams like a pool the ballroom floor	A
A burnished solitude	C
A hundred waxen tapers shine	D
From silver sconces softly pine	D
'Cello fiddle mandoline	D
To music deftly wooed	C
And dancers in cambric satin silk	E
With glancing hair and cheeks like milk	E
Wreathe curtsey intertwine	D
	-
The drowse of roses lulls the air	F
Wafted up the marble stair	F
Like warbling water clucks the talk	G
From room to room in splendour walk	G
Guests smiling in the ry sheen	D
Carmine and azure white and green	D
They stoop and languish pace and preen	D
Bare shoulder painted fan	D
Gemmed wrist and finger neck of swan	D
And still the pluckt strings warble on	D
Still from the snow bowered link lit street	H
The muffled hooves of horses beat	H
And harness rings and foam fleckt bit	I
Clanks as the slim heads toss and stare	F
From deep dark eyes Smiling at ease	J
Mount to the porch the pomped grandees	J
In lonely state by twos and threes	J
Exchanging languid courtesies	J
While torches fume and flare	F
	-
And now the banquet calls A blare	F
Of squalling trumpets clots the air	F
And flocking out streams up the rout	K
And lilies nod to velvet's swish	L
And peacocks prim on gilded dish	L
Vast pies thick glazed and gaping fish	L
Towering confections crisp as ice	J
Jellies aglare like cockatrice	J
With thousand savours tongues entice	J
Fruits of all hues barbaric gloom	M
Pomegranate quince and peach and plum	N
Mandarine grape and cherry clear	O
Englobe each glassy chandelier	O
Where nectarous flowers their sweets distil	P
Jessamine tuberose chamomill	P
Wild eye narcissus anemone	D
Tendril of ivy and vinery	O
	-
Now odorous wines the goblets fill	P
Gold cradled meats the menials bear	O
From gilded chair to gilded chair	O
Now roars the talk like crashing seas	J
Foams upward to the painted frieze	J
Echoes and ebbs Still surges in	D
To yelp of hautboy and violin	D
Plumed and bedazzling rosed and rare	O
Dance bemused with cheek aglow	P
Stooping the green twined portal through	O
Sighing with laughter debonair	O
That concourse of the proud and fair	O
And lo 'La la	P
Mamma Mamma '	-
Falls a small cry in the dark and calls	J
'I see you standing there '	-
	-
Fie fie Sephina not in bed	Q
Crouched on the staircase overhead	Q
Like ghost she gloats her lean hand laid	R
On alabaster balustrade	R
And gazes on and on	D
Down on that wondrous to and fro	P
Till finger and foot are cold as snow	P
And half the night is gone	D
And dazzled eyes are sore bestead	R
Nods drowsily the sleek locked head	R
And vague and far spins fading out	R
That rainbow coloured reeling rout	R
And with faint sighs her spirit flies	J
Into deep sleep	S
	-
Come Stranger peep	S
Was ever cheek so wan	D
