No. 3 - Song (Leonello) - "Sea-girt land of my home"
| Leonello: | Sea-girt land of my home, When thy valleys I roam, Wide world's monarch am I. Blue vault of heaven my canopy, What king's sceptre and throne Stand so firm as my own? Free from strife and from care, Show me a kingdom with mine to compare. Wild birds lullabies sing to me; Daylight dies! Shine bright eyes in the twinkling skies. Night falls; visions to bring to me Where I rove, Dreams of love from the stars above. What though homeless I be? Roofed by sheltering tree, Grass-grown couches my bed. Green leaves twining above my head, None dare question my sway, None my rule to gainsay; Free my kingdom to range, Many a monarch his own would exchange. Wild birds lullabies sing to me; Daylight dies! Shine bright eyes in the twinkling skies. Night falls; visions to bring to me Where I rove, Dreams of love from the stars above. |
| Chorus: | Wild birds lullabies sing to him; Daylight dies! Shine bright eyes in the twinkling skies. Night falls; visions to bring to him Where he'll rove! |
| All: | Dreams of love, |
| Leonello: | from the stars... |
| All: | Dreams of love from above, From the stars above. |
