...President Wilson's three daughters, Spinster Margaret and Eleanor McAdoo live. Neither was among the Foundation banqueteers, nor was Mr. McAdoo, who had flown from California to take his seat in the Senate this week. But present was Widow Edith Boiling Gait Wilson (second wife) who chatted and shook hands with another great Wartime leader, pale old General John Joseph ("Black Jack") Pershing. Also there was Francis Bowes Sayre, the other Wilsonian son-in-law whom President Roosevelt had made Assistant Secretary of State. His two children, Francis Bowes Sayre Jr. and Eleanor Axson Sayre, laid a wreath...

He broke the lyrics with instrumental interludes for the rider to get his breath, or, in the evening, to strum a bit on his guitar. He violated all Tin-Pan Alley tradition when he let his song ramble moodily along, instead of limiting himself to a cut-&-dried 32-bar chorus.
