CABARET
The wave of life breaks there in froth,
A golden turbulence; and there
Proud boys, their thoughts gilded and gay,
Dance with their women light as air.
A golden turbulence; and there
Proud boys, their thoughts gilded and gay,
Dance with their women light as air.
What Thought digs wide the pit of space?
What Will keeps the fierce stars apart?
What Titans build the dancing floor
For this soft indolence of heart?
What Will keeps the fierce stars apart?
What Titans build the dancing floor
For this soft indolence of heart?
While magic trifles, lips and eyes,
Catch at me through the wandering glow,
My heart feels moving in its deeps
The Great Deep's tidal under-tow.
Catch at me through the wandering glow,
My heart feels moving in its deeps
The Great Deep's tidal under-tow.
