     Charlotta�察    �crouched     among     the  currant   bushes�察   �Watched     the   moon 

slowly   dip   from   twig   to   twig。   If   Theodore   should   chance   to   come�察  �and 

blushes   Streamed   over   her。      He   would   not   care   a   fig�察  �He'd   only   laugh。 

She   pushed   aside   a   sprig   Of   sharp´edged   leaves   and   peered�察  �then   she 

uprose Amid her bushes。           ;Sir�察─�said she�察 �pray whose 

     Garden do you suppose you're watching�拭                �Why Do you stand there�拭�

I really must insist Upon your leaving。            'Tis unmannerly To stay so long。; 

The    young     man    gave   a  twist   And    turned   about�察  �and   in  the   amethyst 

Moonlight   he   saw   her   like   a   nymph   half´risen   From   the   green   bushes 

which had been her prison。 

     He swept his hat off in a hurried bow。 ;Your pardon�察�Madam�察�I had no 

idea I was not quite alone�察�and that is how I came to stay。                   My trespass 

was    not   sheer   Impertinence。      I   thought    no   one   was   here�察  �And    really 

gardens cry to be admired。 To´night especially it seemed required。

     And   may   I   beg   to   introduce   myself�拭  �Heinrich   Marohl   of   Munich。 

And     your    name�拭─    �Charlotta    told   him。    And     the   artful   elf  Promptly 

exclaimed      about    her   husband's    fame。    So   Lotta�察  �half´unwilling�察    �slowly 

came   To   conversation   with   him。        When   she   went   Into   the   house�察  �she 

found the evening spent。 

     Theodore arrived quite wearied out and teased�察�With all excitement in 

him burned away。 It had gone well�察�he said�察�the audience pleased�察�And he 

had played his very best to´day�察�But afterwards he had been forced to stay 

And   practise   with   the   stupid   ones。     His   head   Ached   furiously�察  �and   he 

must get to bed。 

                                          Part Second 

         Herr   Concert´Meister Altgelt   played�察             �And   the   four   strings   of 

his violin        Were spinning like bees on a day in Spring。                    The notes 

rose    into  the   wide    sun´mote         Which      slanted    through    the   window�察�

They lay like coloured beads a´row�察               �They knocked together and parted�察�

And started to dance�察           �Skipping�察�tripping�察�each one slipping               Under 

and over the others so            That the polychrome fire streamed like a lance 

Or a comet's tail�察         �Behind them。           Then a wail arose  crescendo  

And dropped from off the end of the bow�察                    �And the dancing stopped。 

A  scent   of   lilies   filled   the   room�察  �Long   and   slow。     Each   large   white 

bloom         Breathed   a     sound   which     was   holy   perfume     from   a   blessed 

censer�察       �And the hum of an organ tone�察                �And they waved like fans 

in   a   hall   of   stone    Over   a   bier   standing   there   in   the   centre�察  �alone。 

Each lily bent slowly as it was blown。                Like smoke they rose from the 

violin         Then faded as a swifter bowing                 Jumbled the notes   like 

wavelets       flowing            In    a   splashing�察     �pashing�察    �rippling    motion 

Between   broad   meadows   to   an   ocean            Wide   as   a   day   and   blue   as   a 

flower�察         �Where      every    hour        Gulls     dipped�察   �and   scattered�察   �and 

squawked�察  �and   squealed�察          �And   over   the   marshes   the Angelus   pealed�察�

And     the   prows     of  the   fishing´boats     were    spattered         With     spray。 

And away a couple of frigates were starting                    To race to Java with all 

sails   set�察     �Topgallants�察     �and   royals�察  �and   stunsails�察  �and   jibs�察     �And 

wide   moonsails�察  �and   the   shining   rails        Were   polished   so   bright   they 

sparked in the sun。            All the sails went up with a run�此                      �They

call   me   Hanging   Johnny�察                     �Away´i´oh�察                �They  call   me 

Hanging Johnny�察                        �So hang�察�boys�察�hang。;             And the sun had 

set   and   the   high   moon   whitened�察          �And   the   ship   heeled   over   to   the 

breeze。         He   drew   her   into   the   shade   of   the   sails�察   �And   whispered 

tales        Of    voyages     in  the   China    seas�察      �And     his   arm   around     her 

Held   and   bound   her。         She   almost   swooned�察           �With   the   breeze   and 

the moon           And the slipping sea�察            �And he beside her�察            �Touching 

her�察�leaning           The ship careening�察            �With the white moon steadily 

shining over           Her and her lover�察          �Theodore�察�still her lover� �

          Then a quiver fell on   the crowded notes�察                  �And slowly  floated 

A single note which spread and spread                     Till it filled the room with a 

shimmer        like   gold�察       �And      noises    shivered     throughout      its  length�察�

And   tried   its   strength。       They  pulled   it�察  �and   tore   it�察    �And   the   stuff 

waned      thinner�察   �but  still  it  bore  it。      Then     a  wide    rent      Split    the 

arching   tent�察        �And   balls   of   fire   spurted   through�察      �Spitting   yellow�察�

and   mauve�察  �and   blue。         One   by   one   they   were   quenched   as   they   fell�察�

Only the blue burned steadily。                Paler and paler it grew�察�and  faded  

away。                   Herr Altgelt stopped。 

     ;Well�察�Lottachen�察�my Dear�察�what do you say�拭�I think I'm in good trim。 

Now let's have dinner。 What's this�察�my Love�察�you're very sweet to´day。 I 

wonder   how   it   happens   I'm   the   winner   Of   so   much   sweetness。           But   I 

think you're thinner�察�You're like a bag of feathers on my knee。 Why�察�Lotta 

child�察�you're almost strangling me。 

     I'm  glad   you're   going   out   this   afternoon。  The  days   are   getting   short�察�

and   I'm  so   tied At the   Court Theatre   my  poor   little   bride   Has not   much 

junketing I fear�察�but soon I'll ask our manager to grant a boon。 To´night�察�

perhaps�察�I'll get a pass for you�察�And when I go�察�why Lotta can come too。 

     Now dinner�察�Love。           I want some onion soup To whip me up till that 

rehearsal's over。 You know it's odd how some women can stoop� �Fraeulein 

Gebnitz   has   taken   on   a   lover�察  �A   Jew   named   Goldstein。          No    one   can 

discover If it's his money。          But she lives alone Practically。           Gebnitz is a

Gebnitz finds out�察�then His wife will pack。              Yes�察�shut the door at once。 I 

did not feel it cold�察�I am a dunce。; 

     Frau Altgelt tied her bonnet on and went Into the streets。                  A bright�察�

crisp Autumn   wind   Flirted   her   skirts   and   hair。     A  turbulent�察�Audacious 

wind it was�察�now close behind�察�Pushing her bonnet forward till it twined 

The strings across her face�察�then from in front Slantingly swinging at her 

with a shunt�察�

     Until   she   lay   against   it�察  �struggling�察  �pushing�察  �Dismayed   to   find   her 

clothing tightly bound Around her�察�every fold and wrinkle crushing Itself 

upon her�察�so that she was wound In draperies as clinging as those found 

Sucking about a sea nymph on the frieze Of some old Grecian temple。                      In 

the breeze 

     The   shops   and   houses   had   a   quality   Of   hard   and   dazzling   colour�察�

something   sharp And   buoyant�察  �like   white�察  �puffing   sails   at   sea。   The   city 

streets    were    twanging     like   a  harp。   Charlotta    caught     the  movement�察�

skippingly   She   blew   along   the   pavement�察  �hardly   knowing   Toward   what 

destination she was going。 

     She fetched up opposite a jeweller's shop�察�Where filigreed tiaras shone 

like crowns�察�And necklaces of emeralds seemed to drop And then float up 

again    with   lightness。    Browns       Of  striped   agates    struck   her  like   cold 

frowns   Amid   the   gaiety   of   topaz   seals�察  �Carved   though   they   were   with 

heads�察�and arms�察�and wheels。
