English poem
Dance Song
by Olive Custance (1874–1944)
O hide your passion from the moon. When young and slender she appears In shining gown and silver shoon … And, all her path with stars impearled, She dances round the darkened world.
O hide your sorrows from the sun … The sun should never see your tears! Weep, if you will, when day is done … But laugh and sing and clap your hands While yet the sun in heaven stands.
