SONG. — DANCING SUNBEAM.
Oh, Life has put into my hand
His Bunch of Keys,
And said, "With these
Do aught you please!
But one door only, understand,
Is not for thee —
Societee!
The Key of Gold will open wide that door-way;
But recollect that
one
way is not
your
way!"
So like a Peri at the gate
Of Fashion-land
I have to stand —
The sport of tantalizing Fate!
The sport of tantalizing Fate!
O Golden Key
That openest every door-way!
How glad my song of life would be
Could I make use of thee,
O Golden Key!
How glad my song of life would be
Could I make use of thee,
Could I make use of thee,
O Golden Key!
How chang'd my life and song!
