In the fresca of her reckless dream were halos, multi-colored Cynosure is simply glowing with glamour, never knowing the dream, the wish, her fantasy is fragile reverie Is a place to fear, will waste her years and where her whims have led It will lead her on a lissome road that's paved with gold, she'll see but also cold, where she could freeze with empty years to dread A chatoyant moon up in the sky appears to leave no warning And words we know, like backs of hands are not clear words she'll understand Where fairytales, and charming men ineffable and kind, deceive the human mind Who can define or hide the truth, that's underlined, mistook? Mellifluous music. is all she hears Adagios, to fill the ears, contain her storybook While watching her, our ingénue, demure and pale She'll soon grow old behind the veil, panacea of tall dreams She'll fade into the mythical, her fairyland of schemes Sempiternal devotion, is not for everyone For sometimes cruel emotion, will take the heart and run
