ACT II
SCENE — Open audience hall in the Sultan's palace. Heart's Desire discovered.
No. 15: Duet (Heart's Desire & Yussuf)
| Desire. | |||
| Oh, what is love? | |||
| A song from heart to heart; | |||
| When each doth compliment | |||
| Its counterpart. | |||
| Oh, where is love? | |||
| 'Tis ever near at hand; | |||
| Where Earth and Heaven, Earth and Heaven meet | |||
| In fairyland. | |||
| Oh, why is love? | |||
| It maketh us to see | |||
| That Heaven may be reached | |||
| By you or me, By bond or free! |
|||
| [Yussuf enters | |||
| The Song of self | |||
| Is but a melody; Ah! |
|||
| Yussuf. | ||
| Ah! Love lends of sympathy | ||
| A counter-theme; | ||
| Both. | ||
| And life becomes a dream Life becomes a dream And life becomes a dream |
||
| Of Heaven's harmony. | ||
| The Song of self Is but a melody; And life becomes a dream |
||
| Of Heaven's harmony, Of Harmony. |
