THE girl goes dancing there <br />On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth <br />Grass plot of the garden; <br />Escaped from bitter youth, <br />Escaped out of her crowd, <br />Or out of her black cloud. <br />Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer.! <br /> <br />If strange men come from the house <br />To lead her away, do not say <br />That she is happy being crazy; <br />Lead them gently astray; <br />Let her finish her dance, <br />Let her finish her dance. <br />Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer.!<br /><br />William Butler Yeats<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-dancer/
