PIANO TO "PIANOLA."

I struck the chords "crescendo agitato," While you kept tune and played an ''obligato," Restraining all my " trio " and " staccato," With hush of " rallentaudo moderato." My " tempo " hurried your " appassionata " To seize the " motif " of a grand " sonata," Until you paused and said " We'll play from memory," And now our "duo" : s a charming "reverie." Since yielding to your most expressive ped'ling, I seoru the touch of any player's meddling; Our "harmonies" flow smoothly "amoroso," With here and there a prelude "tremuloso." W. F. E.
