Max realized at once that he
Had wandered into his wife's dream;
The streets were too broad and clean
Statues on the bridge over the River Bug
Nodded at him, smiling; one of them
Offered him flowers. Cats and dogs
Didn't understand a word he said
And every third man walking by
Looked like the Emperor. Indeed,
The Emperor himself strolled by,
Smoking a cigarette and singing
Some old song about blue roses.
The Empress Sisi, her eyes too big
And glowing unnaturally green,
Took Max' hand and whispered urgently
Mortraizek, geyn tsu deyn eygn klum!
