+==== “A MAN WITH A MASK” ====
+A WONDERFUL man
+\\ From a beautiful land
+\\ Where things are just as they seem
+\\ Took passage one day
+\\ In a very queer way
+\\ To a country made out of a dream.
+Now in this new country
+\\ He wore a strange guise
+\\ As everyone else did, you see.
+\\ And try as he would
+\\ He never quite could
+\\ Be just as he wanted to be.
+For the people would meet
+\\ As they passed on the street
+\\ In this very queer land of the mask.
+\\ They looked at him too,
+\\ And yet never knew
+\\ That he was a friend with a mask.
+They looked at the mask
+\\ But never did ask
+\\ About the real man struggling within.
+\\ For no one thought
+\\ That the garment thus wrought
+\\ Was the discolored garment of sin.
+So the friends from above,
+\\ United by love
+\\ And the bonds of the one parenthood,
+\\ For many a day
+\\ Their ignorant way
+\\ Passed on all unmindful of good.
+There’s a beautiful land,
+\\ O very real land,
+\\ And it shines with a splendid light;
+\\ Its a very dear land
+\\ And a very near land,
+\\ And it beckons back thru the night.
+There no man weeps
+\\ And no man sleeps
+\\ The sleep of the dark unknown;
+\\ Each plays his part
+\\ With a gallant heart
+\\ And all injustice long has flown.
+\\ —Laura Collins.
