My kindly friends, I thank you for this greeting And as you wish me every earthly joy, I trust your wishes may have quick fulfillment! |
ARIA
Oh, happy young heart! Comes thy young lord a-wooing With joy in his eyes, And pride in his breast – Make much of thy prize, For he is the best That ever came a-suing, That came a-suing. Yet – yet we must part, Young heart, Yet we must part, Yet we must part, Yet – yet we must part, Young heart, Yet we must part. |
Oh, merry young heart, Never to part, never to part, * The libretto has " Bright are the days of thy wooing!" but the vocal score has the line as here.
