TO ---, WHO DANCES
Ah, your rapturous entrancing,
Rather airy way of dancing,
Which is far from being prancing in its light fantastic trend;
With its attitudes enthralling,
Some of them a bit appalling,
Keep us “Brava, brava” calling from beginning unto end.
Rather airy way of dancing,
Which is far from being prancing in its light fantastic trend;
With its attitudes enthralling,
Some of them a bit appalling,
Keep us “Brava, brava” calling from beginning unto end.
All else we are forgetting
As our peace of mind upsetting
You go blithely pirouetting unto music light and gay:
And your dizzy way of whirling,
And of twisting and of twirling,
Sets our senses all aswirling in a most confusing way.
As our peace of mind upsetting
You go blithely pirouetting unto music light and gay:
And your dizzy way of whirling,
And of twisting and of twirling,
Sets our senses all aswirling in a most confusing way.
You can't be too prolific
Of your poses beatific,
For the dancing that's pacific is the kind we'd like to mend;
And we trust you will aspire
To make every kick a flyer
As we keep on calling “Higher,” from beginning unto end.

And we trust you will aspire
