The Ball

6.4.29

Come hurry young ladies,
Prepare for the Ball.
Your escorts are waiting you
Down in the hall,
To whirl you away,
To a room of delight,
To dance through the hours
Of this long happy night.
To fill all your hours
With pleasure and glee
And drink something stranger
Than coffee or tea.
Then home in the morning
In the dawning daylight
To dream through again
Of that long blissful night.
