Duet—Woodland Night Song—Act II., Scene 2

(Columbus And Dearfood)

Oh, my cedar-perfumed maiden.

Columbus:
Oh, my cedar-perfumed maiden.
With slim ankles jewel-laden,
Hear your lover croon,
Neath the woodland moon,
"Here I wait for you!"
Come, with dusky tresses swinging,
Tempting red lips softly singing.
Little maiden sweet,
Come on twinkling feet.
My heart waits, love, for you!

Oh, gentle West wind,
I can hear her (him) whispering "Love Me"
Her (his) dark eyes are pleading "Love Me,
For I love only you!"
O, gentle West wind,
Bring my lover to me soon,
For there's magic in the moon,
And the woodland night is calling,
"I am lonely
For you only,
Come to me!"

Dearfood:
When the stars are faintly gleaming,
And my heart of love is dreaming,
My love from the sea
Whispers low to me
"Here I wait for you."
And I answer him with gladness,
For my heart has lost its sadness
Happiness is near.
For you are my dear
My heart waits, love, for you!
