MR . BUNT

93

The Wind - the Wind - the Wind ,

Ho, for the battle of Wind and Flame, Blowing 'em back and back again. Oh, ho ! Oh, ho ! The red glow of the fire has gone, the stage is black , the wind has died and the figures have departed . Vaguely the figure of the Sand

man is seen rising from the prostrate form of Mr. Bunt. He moves away slowly, singing : SANDMAN

Dream, baby, dream A spirit voice from another world breaks in upon the song. VOICE OF SPIRIT

Sandman, do you bring him to us ? SANDMAN

Not yet, О Spirit of the Air - he lives. VOICE OF SPIRIT

Sandman, do they not understand on Earth ? SANDMAN

Not yet, О Spirit, are we clearly seen. VOICE OF SPIRIT

Pass on, O Sandman, with thy sack of dreams, O’ershadow by thy visions earthly Fate ; Guard one who asked but for a tinsel crown ;

Make sweet her dreams , her voyage to our gate. Pass on, O Sandman , All is well.
