The Pantoum of the Opera

My world lies beneath my mask 
I see not beyond the stage 
My cue beckons me to task 
Limelights set me ablaze 

I see not beyond the stage 
Clapping thunder's all I hear 
Limelights set me ablaze 
I long for the Diva's gaze 

Clapping thunder's all I hear 
My cue beckons me to task 
I long for the Diva's gaze 
My world lies beneath my mask
