MERMAN AND MERMAID.

(Grand Operatic Phantasmagoria)

Bosh, bosh, nonsense, In this spiritual world We cannot be deceived.

Quite right art thou.

Dear Fleehion, I dreamt I heard familiar voices.

'Tis perhaps an illusion Or joyful dream. Perhaps the spirits Had gathered around Planning their secrets.

Through a ship that sunk To the ocean's bed, Where curious fish Had lain await And swallowed us for bait. Yes swallowed us for bait. The almighty Creator Spared our life, Transformed us in The living sea.
