A number of people are rushing about in the grove with loud cries of terror. Far away is heard the music of the procession.
Women.
Mercy! The earth is quaking again!
A Man in Flight.
Oh horror! Thunder beneath our feet——!
Another Man.
Was it indeed so? Was it the earth that shook?
A Woman.
Did you not feel it? That tree there swayed so that the branches whistled through the air.
Many Voices.
