A happy face may conceal a soul
Deep within which is full of woe.
A sad face may be summoned to attract
Pity and condolence that cannot be normally grasped.
An angry face may be put up as a show
To scarce your soul, but nothing more.
A sympathetic face may be forged up as a cast
To win your heart for his own interest.
An anxious face may be drawn up to deceive
An inner peace of mind which you cannot perceive.
A tranquil face may be created to hide
Fear on which he doesn't want to light.
A neutral face may be tied up to disguise
An indecisive mind that is always in flight.
Such are the masks that many will not cast
Such are the casts that many deliberately mask.
