From Martha; or, The Fair at Richmond by Friedrich von[Composer] Flotow

male · romantic · 58 sec

16. LIO. O, when she rose fair on my sight, Radiant, lovely, like dawning light, Flow'd all my heart forth to her own, Tribute to beauty bright. Joy reviv'd and my thought Sang like woodlands after rain, Hope for me shone again, Lighting all my hours of pain. Gladness made all my heart Bright as meadows pearl'd with dew, For I dream'd love's sweet dream Ever old, yet young like dawn And ever new! O, when she rose, fair on my sight, etc. Martha, Martha, must I lose thee, Life has naught can peace restore! Thou, my comfort, peace and pleasure, Reft of thy sweet looks I die! (At the close of his song LIONEL goes to the back of stage and stands alone. SIR TRISTAN and LADY HARRIET enter.)
