Song.
"Hear Me, Gentle Maritana."
Hear me, gentle Maritana,
By the magic of thy beauty;
Hear me sweu-too, fair Gitana
This fond heart beats but for thee.
Captive 'neath thy chains delighted
Tho' its doom be dark and heavy,
By a smile of thine delighted,
Would not if it could be free.
By a smile of thine delighted
Would not if it could be free.

The mariner in his barque
When o'er him dim clouds hover,
With rapture thro' tempest dark
Beholds one star above.
Sweet hope then his bosom swells,
His every care seems over,
Sweet hope then his bosom swells,
His every care seems over.
A smile as from heaven tells
Of home delight and love.
A smile as from heaven tells
Of home delight and love.
