Yvette

Wilt thou begone!

Lalain

Ay, through this door, Yvette!

‘Tis easy, as thou seest. And ah, to-night—

The storm o’er past and shining bright the moon

And the cold nuns all telling o’er their beads,

How simple ‘twere—O priceless liberty!

Thou wouldst not be the only one, I trow,

Who may not walk beside the silver Loire!
