WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

I like your comment. My face is smile,my dimple show up. Your words having many view. We don`t have to follow the Human guilt.The Life is not that subtlety. Nay, the Life is nice ! I am trying to reach the basic point; We don`t need a Mask to use it - the arising Sun doesn`t have it !
