 [2' 57"] |
| DOROTHY. | ||
| Mother, dearest mother, | ||
| Hearken unto me, | ||
| Think not that another | ||
| Draws my heart from thee. | ||
| Though each day I know him | ||
| Brighter shines the sun, | ||
| All the love I owe him | ||
| Robbeth thee of none. | ||
| His I seem to borrow, | ||
| All mine own is thine; | ||
| In my virgin sorrow | ||
| Help me, mother mine. | ||
| LADY VERNON. | ||
| Were but I above him, | ||
| Simple were his task; | ||
| Doth my daughter love him? | ||
| That is all I ask. | ||
| Were but I above him, | ||
| Stranger though he be, | ||
| If my daughter love him, | ||
| Son he is to me! | ||
| Whether wife or maiden, | ||
| All my heart is thine; | ||
| Joy or sorrow laden, | ||
| Thou art daughter mine. | ||
| BOTH. | ||
| Whether wife or maiden | ||
| Thou art daughter/mother mine; | ||
| Joy or sorrow laden, | ||
| All my heart is thine! | ||
| DOROTHY. | ||
| Mother, my own dear mother, | ||
| Both of our lives entwine! | ||
| Couldst thou have wed another, | ||
| Had such a love been thine? | ||
| Oh, mother dear, | ||
| I love him so, | ||
| No doubt or fear | ||
| I seem to know! | ||
| LADY VERNON. | ||
| Go on thy way with gladness! | ||
| Happily live the wife! | ||
| And leave to me the sadness, | ||
| And leave to me the strife. | ||
| BOTH. | ||
| Whether wife or maiden | ||
| Thou art daughter/mother mine; | ||
| Joy or sorrow laden, | ||
| All my heart is thine, All my heart is thine, All my heart is thine! |
||
Exeunt.
