So, Sin, embrace me! Watch; he moves again,

Transfigured by the dream: slow rapture steals

Over his face. Mere godhead could not bring

That human light and living! I will win.

He must have banished Her—and dreams of me.

Tannhäuser (in sleep).

Elizabeth!

Venus.

His far-off baby-love!

I triumph, then! The Goddess hath withdrawn.
