DRESDEN CHINA(A Twilight Fancy) Words by F. E. Weatherly. Music by J. L. Molloy. 
In the twilight as I play And fancies come and go, And dreamland falls on the old oak walls From the firelight's fitful glow, Side by side in the corner wide Stand a little lass and lad, And through the gloom of my lonely room Come their two little faces glad. Side by side in the corner wide I watch their ev'ry look, She peeps at him 'neath her hat's white brim As he leans on his little crook; Hour by hour I watch them there, But they take no heed of me; They make my dark room bright and fair, The little He and She. 
As I dream in the flickering gleam He takes her wee sweet hand. And to and fro in a measure slow They tread a saraband; Still they dance and still they play Till the music gives a sigh. As dancing aye they fade away And in the shadows die. Dimness falls on the old oak walls, And loneliness on me; When they are gone my song is done And the music hushed must be. Oh, how I loved to watch them there. Though they took no heed of me; They were only Dresden china fair, The little He and She.
