  1. SWEET DANCER
  2.  
  3. THE girl goes dancing there
  4. On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth
  5. Grass plot of the garden;
  6. Escaped from bitter youth,
  7. Escaped out of her crowd,
  8. Or out of her black cloud.
  9. i{Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer.!}
  10.  
  11. If strange men come from the house
  12. To lead her away, do not say
  13. That she is happy being crazy;
  14. Lead them gently astray;
  15. Let her finish her dance,
  16. Let her finish her dance.
  17. i{Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer.!}
  18.
