No. 4 - Song - Dulcie - "The Moon of May."
Dulcie: | When sun and showers awake the flowers To venture forth, And birds go winging their way and singing From South to North. My heart goes after the love and laughter Of May-time's boon, That May of roses whose ring encloses Our honeymoon! Ah! Ah! Come back, my May-time, Bringing the time of old When for us two heavens were blue, Ev'ry hour was gold. Dear dawn of daytime, Noon in the woodland way. Set of the sun, leaving us one Under the moon of May! |
Again for lovers the primrose covers The meadow vales, And leaves are thrilling to hear the trilling Of nightingales! But May must waken to me forsaken Of all her light, The love-light tender that lent a splendour To day and night! Ah! Ah! Come back, my May-time, Bringing the time of old When for us two heavens were blue, Ev'ry hour was gold. Dear dawn of daytime, Noon in the woodland way. Set of the sun, leaving us one Under the moon of May! Under the moon! Under the moon! Under the moon of May, of May! |
