BAL MASQUE |
YES, rose domino, eyes so grey,
‘ Did you believe that I could not guess
Whose pretty face beneath it lay ?
Yes!
Who but yourself could adorn that dress,
Though it be dainty—(are you a fay,
Or a pink-and-white Dresden Shepherdess ? )
Dominoes must not say love nay.
Surely my skill can deserve no less
Than—so you smile—I am sure I may—
Yes?
