Thy voice again!—this blindness of my eyes—

If it be David, speak.

DAVID

Yes, Miriam.

MIRIAM

David of Jesse, Israel’s desire!

Let me behold thee [Her hands go over him.] with my fingers’ sight,

And gather in them touch of thee again!

Thy voice is as dream-dulcimers that stir

Quivering myrrh of memory and joy—
