Before the winds blew desolate anc

Before the fiddler called to ash

Scattered and gone the likely ladi

Who drank with us against the

Yes, there Is sadness when an era

That held so much Of fever and
delight.
And you who shared the laughing

Where are you now and Is 1t vel

When waltzcs held a lovelier refrain
And torches flared for you on
