MANNERS. | ||||
The earth is fair and a beauty rare | ||||
Bespangles lake and lea, | ||||
Ere day is done and the setting sun | ||||
Dips down beneath the sea; | ||||
But never a sun in the skies afar Bright as the eyes of my lady are, |
||||
My lady who loves me! | ||||
Where in the shining frame above, | ||||
Where in the great design, | ||||
Where in the world is found a love | ||||
Like unto mine and thine? Like unto thine and mine, love! Like unto mine and thine! |
||||
When pale afar is the evening star — | ||||
Sweet orphan of the night! — | ||||
Creation sleeps, but its spirit keeps | ||||
Her virgin lamp alight; | ||||
Yet never a star in the heavens above | ||||
Pure as the soul of my lady love, | ||||
Pure as the troth I plight! | ||||
Where in the shining frame on high, | ||||
Where in the great design, | ||||
Where is the love in earth or sky | ||||
Like unto thine and mine? Like unto mine and thine, love! Like unto thine and mine! |
||||
Like unto thine and mine? To mine and thine, O love, O love, Like unto thine and mine! |
DOROTHY appears on the terrace.
DUET.
|
DOROTHY. | MANNERS. | ||
In my life's | |||
Now shines the sun above, | chalice, love, In my life's | ||
Now shines the sun above, | chalice, love, Thou art the wine! | ||
Now thou art mine! Now thou art mine! | Ah, love, thou art the wine |
BOTH. | ||
Hues of the rainbow take | ||
Landscape and sky; | ||
Sweetly the morn doth break, | ||
When love is nigh! | ||
Sweetly the morn doth break, | ||
When love is nigh! | ||
Sweetly the morn doth break, | ||
When love is nigh! |
