RF SOL 2:1 ACT 2. SCENE 1.
(The SHEPHERDESS and her lover meet and talk.)
SHEPHERDESS.
Am I your Rose of Sharon?—
Your Lily of the Valley?—
RF SOL 2:2 SHEPHERD.
Like a lily in thorns,—
Is my dear amongst maidens
RF SOL 2:3 SHEPHERDESS.
Like an apple to trees of the forest,
Amongst lads is my lover!
I delight in his shade and sit down,
RF SOL 2:4 And his fruit,—it is sweet to my taste.
He has brought to his bower,
And his banner above me is love!
RF SOL 2:5 (She sings.) Refresh me with flagons,
With apples support me,
Because I am fainting with love!
RF SOL 2:6 Let his left hand be under my head,
And his right hand be clasped within mine!
RF SOL 2:7 (The SHEPHERD sleeps, and the SHEPHERDESS says to the Chorus.)
I entreat you, Jerusalem's daughters,
By the deer and gazelles of the field,
Arouse not,—disturb not my love,
Until it may please him to wake.
RF SOL 2:8 SCENE 2.
(A Park Lodge. The SHEPHERDESS at the window sees her lover in the distance, and exclaims to her companions.)
Ah! that is the voice of my love,
Who comes tripping over the hills!
RF SOL 2:9 My lover is like a gazelle,
Or a fawn of the groves!
(The CHORUS of her Companions.)
Look! he is hiding behind our wall,
To the window he peeps!
Thro' the flowers spread over the lattice!
RF SOL 2:10 SHEPHERDESS exclaims.
My darling addresses and calls!
SHEPHERD, hid amongst the rosebushes, sings.
Arise my love, my fair, and come to me!—
Let me wander, sweet, with you:
RF SOL 2:11 For see the Winter is past,
The rain is over and gone,
The flowers appear on the earth,
RF SOL 2:12 And the Time of the Singing of Birds is come,
And the voice of the Turtle is heard in our land!
RF SOL 2:13 2.
The fig-leaves are tanned by the sun,
And the bloom on the vines gives perfume,
Arise and come to me, my love!
My fair one,—let me come to you
RF SOL 2:14 3.
My Dove's in a cleft of the rock,
In a precipice hid!
Allow me to list to your coos,
For your voice is a pleasure,
And to see you delights!
RF SOL 2:15 4.
Let us hunt little foxes together,
The bad foxes, who spoil our grapes,
And our blossoming vines?
RF SOL 2:16 SHEPHERDESS.
My lover is mine, and I am his?
SHEPHERD.
Let us graze amongst lilies,
Till the evening breeze comes,
RF SOL 2:17 Till the shadows depart!
SHEPHERDESS.
Come rest yourself, darling,
Like Gazelles and the Fawns of the groves,
On the Mountains of Bethar.
