The veil slips low from the bud,
The veil slips low,
The world's gaze, astray.
The veil slips.

Tender form, and youth upon it,
Tender form, and youth,
Ah, slender waist,
It bends, yields.
The world's gaze, astray.
The veil slips.

Coiling tresses the world beheld,
Coiling tresses,
A noose, it snagged and hung,
A noose, it hung.
The world's gaze, astray.
The veil slips.

Oh, oy, oy, oy,
See the fire in their ire,
See their temper,
Like lightning in a cloud,
It crackles, flashes.
The world's gaze, astray.
The veil slips low,
The veil.
