As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door

“Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
Over the traffic of cities—over the rumble of wheels in the streets;”

The trombone pony neighs and the tuba jackass snorts
The banjo tickles and titters too awful.”

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.”
- From Casey at the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer
