Fragrant in silent splendor Without the faintest sound,
Night, in arms cool and tender, Brings peace unto my heart and calm surrender.
Thunder and war may rend the world a sunder,
And yet, our love,oh wonder! Will be in glory crowned.
Oh, my warrior so proud! Memories of sorrow, Of despair and of sadness
slowly give way to rising hope of a radiant life tomorrow.
Ah, it is sweet to whisper in your slumber:
Do you remember?
When first we met I often heard you speak
of wondrous adventures, war, and stormy seas.
My heart in rapture silently was seeking
A way to tell you my love will never cease.
I told you of my destiny,
of battles
where valiant men laugh at death they defy,
Of slaughter
and final victory,
of soldiers marching onward
A gain to win or die!!!!
Then you would guide me far across the ocean,
There, where the sun will forever kiss the sand,
Where in despair,
for what of cooling potion,
Men die forgotten far in a distant land.
Your heart was torn in sorrow,
and the tears Of bitter weeping
like pearls would fill your eyes.
Like diamonds they would shine on me
like brilliant rays from heaven,
out of the starlit skies.
And I would notice in your face so tender
Burning a fire so intense and so true.
Truly you loved me for my life's dark splendor.
For your compassion did I worship you.
Truly I loved you for your life's dark splendor,
And my compassion made you love me, too.
Truly you loved me
Truly you loved me
For your compassion did I worship you.
Were I to die now!!!
No delight up in paradise
is so divine as the hour of enchantment!
Yet, so great is my joy,
so full my heart that fate can no longer hold and earthly promise.
In darkness lies enshrouded what the Lord will bestow upon Otello.
I vowed before the altar Our love shall ever grow and never falter.
The Angels sing beside you:
Amen! they answer, smiling as they answer.
Amen! they answer.
AH!
My heart is in turmoil, raving in frenzy...
I can not endure it!
To kiss you.....
Otello!
To kiss you.....
once more to kiss you.
see, the stars soon will meet the silv'ry ocean!
late is the night
COME!!!!
