No. 6 - Duet - Margorie and Geoffrey - "Boy and Girl."
MIDI File
Marjorie: | When we were children, going Through meadows after mowing, |
Geoffrey: | We used to play among the hay, Big armfuls fiercely throwing! |
Marjorie: | But soon our war was ended, And on the hay extended, |
Geoffrey: | In peace we'd make a feast of cake, That cake was simply splendid! Little girl! |
Marjorie: | Little boy! |
Both: | We would have such fun, in the summer sun! Nobody stupid to check the joy |
Marjorie: | of one little girl, and one little boy! One little, one little |
Both: | girl, and boy! |
Marjorie: | When all the woods were ringing, With birds of springtime singing, |
Geoffrey: | We'd take a board and length of cord And gaily go a-swinging! |
Marjorie: | Then to and fro, unsteady, Our swing would twist and eddy; |
Geoffrey: | And if it broke, 'twas but a joke — |
Marjorie: | The grass was always ready! |
Geoffrey: | Little girl! |
Marjorie: | Little boy! |
Both: | We would swing so high that we seemed to fly! Life was a game, and the world a toy, |
Marjorie: | For one little girl, and one little boy, One little, one little |
Both: | girl, and boy! |
Marjorie: | How all the lanes remind me Of happy days behind me. |
Geoffrey: | Our dearest freak was hide and seek, |
Marjorie: | I hid and you would find me. |
Geoffrey: | I heard you faintly calling, And then a silence falling — |
Marjorie: | You pass'd me by beneath your eye, With blindness quite appalling! |
Geoffrey: | Little girl! |
Marjorie: | Little boy! |
Both: | But you don't forget how we always met! We were not distant or cold, or coy, |
Marjorie: | As one little girl, and one little boy, One little, one little |
Both: | girl, and boy! |
