To dance, that gala dance divine.

Dance, O' Dance!

 

O gala night! O dance divine

encirc'd within thy curtained shrine,

lamps strung low, of feeble glare

cast they light, in movements fair!

how they revel! tumble strange,

limbs a-kimbo, faces strained,

 

-as phantom music plays and plays

 

Corpses turn a simple step,

with night to hide their halted breath

hearts stopped well and figures cold

costumes dawned, from days of old.

Still they swing, both gay and strange

as night pervaids and horror reigns

 

-as phantom music plays and plays

 

A lusty waltz! with fasioned air

the revel'rs turn and chance a stare

as figures new and thus arrived,

appear bewildered; in confusion strive

to find in darkness, fettered way,

so sing'ly search the failing day

 

-as phantom music plays and plays.
