My Lord and Master

He is pleased with me!
My lord and master
Declares that he’s pleased with me-
What does he mean?
What does he know of me,
This lord and master?
When he has looked at me What has he seen?
Something young
Soft and slim,
Painted cheek,
Tap’ring limb,
Smiling lips
All for him,
Eyes that shine
Just for him-
So he thinks…
Just for him!
Though the man may be My lord and master,
Though he may study me As hard as he can,
The smile beneath my smile
He’ll never see
He’ll never know
I love another man
He’ll never know
I love another man.
