No. 13 - Duet - Dick and Constance - "Do you remember Love."
| Constance: | Do you recall that song we used to sing? |
| Dick: | Yes, I remember well that dear old song of ours. |
| Constance: | What memories that song
to me can bring! You have forgotten, I declare. This is the air, this is the air. |
| Dick: | How long a time it seems, How long it seems. |
| Constance: | Oh, dear first love of olden days, Come back in dreams to me. Altho' my heart a vagrant strays, It turns again to thee, As one who travels distant ways, when ever he may chance to roam, At ev'ning homeward turns his gaze; Where thou art is home. |
| Dick: | Gone for ever, ay, for ever. Vanished are youth's happy dreams; To my heart returning never, Wasted all hope in life seems. Love youth; and the pure joy of home may be thine, May be thine for aye. |
| Constance: | And they yet may be... |
| Dick: | But outcast am I, Sad the fate that is mine... |
| Constance: | Hope is thine, hope is thine, Ah yes, whatever may thee betide, Faithful I will bide, e'er to thee. |
| Dick: | Joy is all vanished, |
| Constance: | One true friend |
| Dick: | Hope must be banished. |
| Constance: | Thou hast still, |
| Dick: | All happy dreams of my youth fled for aye. |
| Constance: | One true friend |
| Dick: | Joy is all vanished, |
| Constance: | Thou hast still, |
| Dick: | Hope must be banished. |
| Constance: | It is I. |
| Both: | I will be faithful and true to thee. |
| Constance: | One is true |
| Dick: | One friend still is true |
| Constance: | still to you. |
| Dick: | faithful ever. |
| Constance: | When e'er you hear that song, O think of dear days of old. Oh, dear first love of olden days... |
| Dick: | Could hope and youth come back
again, dear! Alas I a vagrant ever must be straying. Ah, if she cared for me. As one who travels distant ways, |
| Constance: | Wherever he may chance to roam, At even homeward turns his gaze. |
| Dick: | The past is my heart's own true home. |
| Constance: | One friend is true, |
| Dick: | One friend is true, O trusted friend and tried, One friend is faithful still to me. |
