Muse - The Gilded Mask -

by

McKenna Byrne

Her eyes through sapphire shadows spark
But hers is a face I never see;
Her silences and secrets mark
My spirit's wonder through the dark
Upon her mystery.
Hers is the choice upon whose days,
Out of this whirling mortal throng
Are shed her silver-tissued rays
Revealing sealed and secret ways
To poetry and song.
O she is my joy and joy my task
And be it for dust or be it for fame
Or be it for love, I dare not ask
Who hides behind the gilded mask
And softly speaks my name.
