Mother Monologue from Egmont

From Egmont by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

female · romantic · 40 sec

Such a love as Brackenburg's I have never seen; I thought it was to be found only in romance books. (Clara: With love's thrilling rapture What joy can compare!) He suspects thy attachment to Egmont; and yet, if thou wouldst but treat him a little kindly, I do believe he would marry thee still, if thou wouldst have him. Clara (sings). Blissful And tearful, With thought-teeming brain; Hoping And fearing In passionate pain; Now shouting in triumph, Now sunk in despair;-- With love's thrilling rapture What joy can compare!
