Forever dancing

The winding key,

Sets the wheel in motion-

Notes of a free quality

Cause the dancer to turn,

Her arms outstretched,

Her smile placid.

She is fragile beauty,

And shares herself with others.

She knows nothing of freedom;

Her circled steps repeat.

Beckoned at will

She dances to the world.
