Mask lyrics

Flint your red scarf faster and faster, dancer.

It is summer and the sun loves a million green leaves,

masses of green.

Your red scarf flashes across them calling and a-calling.

The silk and flare of it is a great soprano leading a chorus

Carried along in a rouse of voices reaching for the heart of the world.

Your toes are singing to meet the song of your arms:

Let the red scarf go swifter.

Summer and the sun command you.
