The Spanish Lady's Love.

Topics: classic

DONNA SOL to HERNANI.     ("Nous partirons demain.")     [HERNANI, ACT I.]     To mount the hills or scaffold, we go to-morrow:     Hernani, blame me not for this my boldness.     Art thou mine evil genius or mine angel?     I know not, but I am thy slave. Now hear me:     Go where thou wilt, I follow thee. Remain,     And I remain. Why do I thus? I know not.     I feel that I must see thee - see thee still -     See thee for ever. When thy footstep dies,     It is as if my heart no more would beat;     When thou art gone, I am absent from myself;     But when the footstep which I love and long for     Strikes on mine ear again - then I remember     I live, and feel my soul return to me.     G. MOIR.
