A pretty, fair girl, crowned with lilies, is seen to pass the
windows, accompanied by her parents and a small following of
friends.
| CHORUS. | ||||
| Maidens and men of Mirlemont town, | ||||
| Hither we come at your call! | ||||
| Ye have bidden the fairest, then needs must ye own | ||||
| We bring ye the fairest of all! | ||||
| White lilies she wears for a crown, | ||||
| For her cheek as a lily is white, | ||||
| And straight as a lily she grows, | ||||
| Straight and slender and tall; | ||||
| Yet day shall not draw to its close Ere the lily be changed to the rose, |
||||
| For shall ye not crown her to-night | ||||
| The fairest of all? | ||||
| For shall ye not crown her to-night | ||||
| The fairest of all? | ||||
[NOTE This song appears in the libretto but not in the vocal score. For this Web Opera music has been adapted for this song from No. 6.]
