A romance
Serenely I wondered past caring,
Through a room in an empty crowd,
A stairway of stars was declaring:
"This way - for all are allowed
To dream at a waltz."
Then girls with rather large noses
Appeared in a meadow in May,
They said " we can sooner smell roses"
And they blew me a make-do-day
To dream at a waltz
No questions - the answers are dancers,
Who linger not on our laps,
But waft away with their knowing,
On the scent of a perfect perhaps -
To dream at a waltz

A dream at a waltz
Serenely I wondered past caring,
Through a room in an empty crowd,
A stairway of stars was declaring:
"This way - for all are allowed
To dream at a waltz."
Then girls with rather large noses
Appeared in a meadow in May,
They said " we can sooner smell roses"
And they blew me a make-do-day
To dream at a waltz
No questions - the answers are dancers,
Who linger not on our laps,
But waft away with their knowing,
On the scent of a perfect perhaps -
To dream at a waltz
