No. 12 - Scene and Concerted Piece
| Janet: | Ah! Yon is no song of triumph! No, 'tis a dirge! The coronach! |
|
| Highlanders: | Toll the dirges of the brave: Bear the heroes to the grave; Lost forever is the cause of truth and right. |
|
| Chorus: | All is lost! | |
| Highlanders: | Vain the soldiers' blood was shed, Now the battle-field's his bed; Many hearts will be grieving lone tonight! |
|
| Chorus: | All's lost! | |
| Janet: | Hope has vanished from our hearts. | |
| Rob Roy & Lochiel: | Hope has vanished | |
| Chorus: | from our hearts; | |
| Hope has vanished from our hearts now fore'er. | ||
| Highlanders: | Toll the dirges of the brave; | |
| Chorus: | Woe to us! | |
| Highlanders: | Cry coronach! | |
| Chorus: | Ah, me! Now our joy is turned to sorrow, Dark and deep; Ah, see! |
|
| Highlanders: | Ah, see! | |
| Janet: | They come! | |
| Rob Roy & Lochiel: | Our Prince beloved still lives! | |
| Tenors: | Toll the dirges of the brave! | |
| Sopranos: | Toll the dirges of the brave! | |
| Rob Roy & Lochiel: | Ay, our cause is lost forever! | |
| Janet: | Our prince is safe! 'Tis he! | |
| Prince: | All's lost! | |
| Flora: | All's lost! | |
| Prince: | Ev'ry hope now is gone! | |
| Rob Roy & Lochiel: | Ev'ry hope from us departed! | |
| All: | Alas! | |
| Prince: | Over the glens and mountains there falls A darkness, as of deepest night! Lost! Lost! and lost forever Is now the cause we loved and cherish'd! |
|
| Chorus: | Will all be well? | |
| Prince: | All hope has fled! | |
| Rob Roy: | We will be true, | |
| Prince: | Ah, would that I had perished! Would that I had died with all my comrades brave upon |
|
| the field! | ||
| Ah, better far than yield, and I must fall at last. | ||
| Chorus: | Be brave! | |
| Janet & others: | We will desert thee never! | |
| Prince: | My comrades, dear, | |
| Flora: | Thou'lt find thy friends will faithful be. | |
| Janet: | Our best endeavour to serve thee ever. | |
| Flora & Prince: | Then heart to heart ... | |
| Janet & others: | My Prince... | |
| Flora & Prince: | ...we shall not part. | |
| Janet & others: | ...thou art! | |
| Flora & Prince: | There's nothing ever can our hearts divide! | |
| Janet & others: | Our hearts and our swords are thine forever! | |
| Men: | My Prince! | |
| Janet & others: | Courage all! Be not faint-hearted! Hope is left, tho' all else has departed; Tho' we perish, still let us cherish E'er the cause we love while life shall last. Better die in brave endeavor, In the strife to make our country free forever; Hearts and swords will fail thee never, And our lives belong to thee. |
|
| All: | We'll die in brave endeavor, Strive to make our country free, yes, free forever; Hearts and swords are thine forever, And our lives belong to thee, e'er to thee! |
