She sits in a chair in a corner.
a mask is obscuring her face.
She sits in a chair in the corner
never leaving her place.

You can tell that beneath the obscurance
a face full of beauty is there.
As also is true with her eyes azure blue
and her silky, honeycomb hair.

She sits in a chair in the corner.
A mask is obscuring her face.
She sits in a chair in the corner
never leaving her place.

Whenever along come a fellow
she bluntly refuses to dance.
He'll sulk away as she sits with a sway,
never allowing a chance.

She sits in a chair in the corner.
A mask is obscuring her face.
She sits in a chair in the corner
never leaving her place.

Then, with the time nearing midnight,
her arrives under blankets of sleet.
He enters the door, her eyes lift off the floor
and he sweeps the girl off of her feet.

The entire room becomes awestruck,
as they draw close in embrace.
She only can hear as he coos in her ear
and she lifts the mask off of her face.

She kisses him, joy unimagined;
the pure untainted glee!
Her face all alight, they flee into the night;
The Amor and his Mistress of Mystery.

*Note: Amor is love in many different languages. Some choose to interpret it as Cupid because Amor is his Latin name.
