Lefroy Monologue from Tecumseh : a Drama

From Tecumseh : a Drama by Charles Mair

male · melancholic · 58 sec

Good-night, good-night, good friend! (Exit BROCK.) Give me the open sleep, whose bed is earth, With airy ceiling pinned by golden stars, Or vaultage more confined, plastered with clouds! Your log-roofed barrack-sleep, 'twixt drum and drum, Suits men who dream of death, and not of love. Love cannot die, nor its exhausted life, Exhaling like a breath into the air, Blend with the universe again. It lives, Knit to its soul forever. Iena! Dead in the forest wild--earth cannot claim Aught but her own from thee. Sleep on! sleep on! (IENA: What place is this?) Who's there? What voice is that! (IENA: Where am I now?) I'll follow up that sound! A desperate hope now ventures in my heart!
