No. 3 — SONG (Amanda)
| Amanda. | Why does azure deck the sky? | |
| Why are leaves on trees so green? | ||
| Why do birds sing merrily? | ||
| Why doth climb the kidney-bean? | ||
| Why are daisies pearly-white? | ||
| Why of gold's the butter-cup? | ||
| Riddles puzzle me outright — | ||
| I give it up! I give it up! | ||
| Why is love a traitor sad? | ||
| Why are women's hearts so soft? | ||
| Why are men's so false and bad? | ||
| Why are we taken in so oft? | ||
| Why am I maid forlorn? | ||
| Why with sorry brims my cup? | ||
| Why — why was I ever born? | ||
| I give it up! I give it up! | ||
