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
