[Rising, speaks to the music.]

O twilight—holy dusk—dawn twitterings!

How far, how dim and hollow

You darkle over me:

Wings, wings! swift wings, shy wings, eternal wings!

Where shall I follow?

Ah, joy—jubilant melody—

And morning! Joy—I follow!

I dream, and drink from your immortal springs!

[Tacita disappears. Stark beholds Ornis.]
