No. 2 - Song - Edith - "Look Aloft."
Edith: | The world and all that's in it Will only last a minute; Its golden gain is void and vain The moment that you win it; So let not this world smother The glories of the other But lift your eyes To seek the skies And look aloft, my brother! In peril oft — |
Baron & Plantagenet: | In peril oft — |
Edith: | Oh, look aloft! |
Baron & Plantagenet: | We'll look aloft! |
All: | Away from earth my brother. |
Edith: | The world is dark and dreary, The pilgrim wanders weary In gloomy night, without a light To shed its radiance cheery. Oh, then, from darkness turning, The wise and the discerning Through midnight deep Must try to keep Their lamps for ever burning. In dark and damp — |
Baron & Plantagenet: | In dark and damp — |
Edith: | Oh, light the lamp! |
Baron & Plantagenet: | We'll light the lamp! |
All: | And keep it ever burning. |
