No. 16 - Song - Lady Anne - "Sir Philip's Farewell"
Lady Anne: (reading from letter) |
Oh lady mine! At break of day, Ere dawn doth light the sky, Across the sea I must away Where duty's path doth lie. No longer shall your gentle sway The soldier's call defy For while my heart doth bid me stay My duty bids me fly. Farewell! farewell! No words my grief can tell. Farewell! farewell! No words my grief can tell. |
Alas! I dare not seek your face, Tho' that would be delight; I know too well what must give place When love contends with right! But oh! remember if we part, 'Tis but that I may prove That he who holds you in his heart Is worthy of your love. (with Sir Philip:) Farewell! farewell! No words my grief can tell. Farewell! farewell! No words my grief can tell. |
