Same scene. Dawn. Mists clearing away from the valley beneath, and the sunlight breaking through. Music then Vasquez heard singing. Vasquez:
Wake, gentle maiden,
See the light of day Boldly from the mountain Drives the shade away; Maiden wake, maiden wake. See the mists of morning Routed by the day, Haste away, haste away. See the mists of morning Routed by the day, See the mists of morning Routed by the day, Haste away, haste away, Haste away! Wake, gentle maiden, Bid the shadows flee, Brighter than the sunlight Is thy smile to me; Maiden, wake, maiden wake. Sweet, thy smile is sunlight, Chasing night away; Wake, 'tis day, wake, 'tis day, Sweet, thy smile is sunlight, Chasing night away; Sweet, thy smile is sunlight, Chasing night away; Wake, 'tis day, wake, 'tis day, Wake, 'tis day! He is heard as if descending the mountains. Rita enters from the rocks. Page Created 15 February 2004 |
