All Alone to My Eerie
No. 16, Sung by Teresa
MIDI File 3 min. 8 seconds.
Enter Teresa. Her manner suggests that she is crazed.
Recitative. Teresa.
- All alone to my eerie I wander a-weary,
- A desolate maid of her lover bereft;
- What matter? tis only a heart that is lonely
- A-many the maids that a lover has left!
Ballad.
- Whispering breeze,
- Bring me my dear!
- Wind-shaken trees,
- Beckon him here!
- Rivulet, hie
- Prithee go see
- Birds, as ye fly,
- Call him to me!
- Tell him the tale of the tears that I shed
- Tell him I die for the love that is dead!
- Tell him the tale of the tears that I shed
- Tell him I die for the love that is dead!
- Heart that in jest
- Laughed him to scorn,
- Now in my breast
- Lying forlorn
- Idle to plead -
- Cherish thy chain
- Thou shall be freed
- Never again!
- My heart it is sad and a-weary my head,
- For I weep and I die for the love that is dead!
- My heart it is sad and a-weary my head,
- For I weep and I die for the love that is dead!
She sinks, weeping, on a seat.
