Ladies of leisure, 
with their eyes on the back roads --- 
All looking for strangers, 
to whom they extend welcomes 


With a smile and a glimpse 
of pink knees and elbows; 
Of satin and velvet --- 
good ladies, good fortune. 


Ladies. 


They sing of their heroes: 
of solitary soldiers 
Invested in good health 
and manner most charming. 


Whose favors are numbered 
(none the less well intended) 
By hours in a minute; 
by those ladies who bless them. 


Ladies.
