We wear the mask that grins and lies, 


It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes 


This debt we pay to human guile 


With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, 


And mouth with myriad subtleties 


Why should the world be over-wise, 


In counting all our tears and sighs? 


Nay, let them only see us, while 


We wear the mask We smile, 


but, O Great Christ, 


our cries To thee from tortured souls arise We sing, 


but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, 


and long the mile 


But let the world dream otherwise, 


We wear the mask
