The Poorest Waltz |
| Across the cedar covered river |
| Within the night that covers them |
| Up the hill toward dark gates |
| An approach so sweet yet again |
| Proffer the sightless with wine |
| Crank the old gramophone |
| To go up and dance with the blind girls |
| A secret so holy and dire |
| To waltz in the arms of innocence |
| Hushed delights from the choir |
| Shadows long and playful |
| Cast with broken old candles |
| Gowns worn and stressed |
| Yet graceful in tired old sandals |
| Strike up the scratchy old music |
| Tonight they won’t dance alone |
| Alas, the music does fade |
| Back to the village they creep |
| And leave the sanatorium |
| Its bars and rules, Just so |
