| MANNERS. | ||||
| The earth is fair and a beauty rare | ||||
| Bespangles lake and lea, | ||||
| Ere day is done and the setting sun | ||||
| Dips down beneath the sea; | ||||
| But never a sun in the skies afar Bright as the eyes of my lady are, |
||||
| My lady who loves me! | ||||
| Where in the shining frame above, | ||||
| Where in the great design, | ||||
| Where in the world is found a love | ||||
| Like unto mine and thine? Like unto thine and mine, love! Like unto mine and thine! |
||||
| When pale afar is the evening star — | ||||
| Sweet orphan of the night! — | ||||
| Creation sleeps, but its spirit keeps | ||||
| Her virgin lamp alight; | ||||
| Yet never a star in the heavens above | ||||
| Pure as the soul of my lady love, | ||||
| Pure as the troth I plight! | ||||
| Where in the shining frame on high, | ||||
| Where in the great design, | ||||
| Where is the love in earth or sky | ||||
| Like unto thine and mine? Like unto mine and thine, love! Like unto thine and mine! |
||||
| Like unto thine and mine? To mine and thine, O love, O love, Like unto thine and mine! |
||||
DOROTHY appears on the terrace.

| DOROTHY. | MANNERS. | ||
| In my life's | |||
| Now shines the sun above, | chalice, love, In my life's | ||
| Now shines the sun above, | chalice, love, Thou art the wine! | ||
| Now thou art mine! Now thou art mine! | Ah, love, thou art the wine | ||
| BOTH. | ||
| Hues of the rainbow take | ||
| Landscape and sky; | ||
| Sweetly the morn doth break, | ||
| When love is nigh! | ||
| Sweetly the morn doth break, | ||
| When love is nigh! | ||
| Sweetly the morn doth break, | ||
| When love is nigh! | ||
