Forming in front of the awakening east,
All permeated with the rose of dawn,
And pale with delicate green light and shade,
Marvellous! So, you say, she is a witch
Seeking to rob or trick you of your power?
Venus.
I say so? No! I dare not! Oh forbear!
Tannhäuser (starts up).
There, there She comes in waking! Hail to Thee!
I am afraid, I also, I myself!
