i. Very Pleasant [ 4 pages, circa 1'40\" ]

We're sitting in the opera house;
We're waiting for the curtain to arise
With wonders for our eyes;
We're feeling pretty gay,
And well we may,
\"O, Jimmy, look!\" I say,
\"The band is tuning up
And soon will start to play.\"
We whistle and we hum,
Beat time with the drum.

We're sitting in the opera house;
We're waiting for the curtain to arise
With wonders for our eyes,
A feeling of expectancy,
A certain kind of ecstasy,
Expectancy and ecstasy... Sh's's's.

ii. Rather Sad [ 3 pages, circa 2' 00\" ]

From the street a strain on my ear doth fall,
A tune as threadbare as that \"old red shawl,\"
It is tattered, it is torn,
It shows signs of being worn,
It's the tune my Uncle hummed from early morn,
'Twas a common little thing and kind 'a sweet,
But 'twas sad and seemed to slow up both his feet;
I can see him shuffling down
To the barn or to the town,
A humming.
