Creepily, the piano starts to play 

Downstairs – who plays? It can’t be her

She just began to rest! Oo-er!

It has that sweet, that easy flow,

That exquisite touch… and so

It must be her! You just can’t miss,

On any star, on any shore, on any street.

Leaves of every ivy-colour frame

The bold obtrusion of an autumn sun...
