Within the sitting room the company	A
Had been increased in number Two or three	A
Young couples had been added Emma King	B
Ella and Mary Mathers all could sing	B
Like veritable angels Lydia Martin too	C
And Nelly Millikan What songs they knew	C
	-
''Ever of Thee wherever I may be	A
Fondly I'm drea m ing ever of thee ''	-
	-
And with their gracious voices blend the grace	D
Of Warsaw Barnett's tenor and the bass	E
Unfathomed of Wick Chapman Fancy still	F
Can feel as well as hear it thrill on thrill	F
Vibrating plainly down the backs of chairs	G
And through the wall and up the old hall stairs	G
Indeed young Chapman's voice especially	A
Attracted Mr Hammond For said he	A
Waiving the most Elysian sweetness of	H
The ladies ' voices altitudes above	H
The man's for sweetness but as contrast would	I
Not Mr Chapman be so very good	I
As just now to oblige all with in fact	J
Some sort of jolly song to counteract	J
In part at least the sad pathetic trend	K
Of music generally Which wish our friend	K
'The Noted Traveler' made second to	C
With heartiness and so each in review	C
Joined in until the radiant basso cleared	L
His wholly unobstructed throat and peered	L
Intently at the ceiling voice and eye	M
As opposite indeed as earth and sky	M
Thus he uplifted his vast bass and let	N
It roam at large the memories booming yet	N
	-
''Old Simon the Cellarer keeps a rare store	O
Of Malmsey and Malvoi sie	A
Of Cyprus and who can say how many more	O
But a chary old so u l is he e ee	A
A chary old so u l is he	A
Of hock and Canary he never doth fail	P
And all the year 'round there is brewing of ale	P
Yet he never aileth he quaintly doth say	Q
While he keeps to his sober six flagons a day ''	-
	-
And then the chorus the men's voices all	R
Warred in it like a German Carnival	S
Even Mrs Hammond smiled as in her youth	T
Hearing her husband And in veriest truth	T
'The Noted Traveler's' ever present hat	U
Seemed just relaxed a little after that	U
As at conclusion of the Bacchic song	V
He stirred his 'float' vehemently and long	V
	-
Then Cousin Rufus with his flute and art	W
Blown blithely through it from both soul and heart	W
Inspired to heights of mastery by the glad	X
Enthusiastic audience he had	X
In the young ladies of a town that knew	C
No other flutist nay nor wanted to	C
Since they had heard his 'Polly Hopkin's Waltz '	-
Or 'Rickett's Hornpipe ' with its faultless faults	Y
As rendered solely he explained 'by ear '	-
Having but heard it once Commencement Year	Z
At 'Old Ann Arbor '	-
	-
Little Maymie now	A2
Seemed 'friends' with Mr Hammond anyhow	A2
Was lifted to his lap where settled she	A
Enthroned thus in her dainty majesty	A
Gained universal audience although	B2
Addressing him alone 'I'm come to show	B2
You my new Red blue pencil and she says'	Y
Pointing to Mrs Hammond 'that she guess'	Y
You'll make a picture fer me '	-
	-
'And what kind	C2
Of picture ' Mr Hammond asked inclined	C2
To serve the child as bidden folding square	D2
The piece of paper she had brought him there	D2
'I don't know ' Maymie said 'only ist make	E2
A little dirl like me '	-
	-
He paused to take	E2
A sharp view of the child and then he drew	C
Awhile with red and then awhile with blue	C
The outline of a little girl that stood	I
In converse with a wolf in a great wood	I
And she had on a hood and cloak of red	F2
As Maymie watched ' Red Riding Hood ' she said	F2
'And who's ' Red Riding Hood' '	-
	-
'W'y don't you know '	-
Asked little Maymie	G2
	-
But the man looked so	Y
All uninformed that little Maymie could	I
But tell him all about Red Riding Hood	I
