Lio. As the moon shines clearer, fairer,
Spring's new loveliness is seen.

Lady H. and Lio. While the nightingale with singing,
Tells his love to earth and sky,
Sounds at last love's hour of promise,
Hour of hope and nuptial joy.

Cho. Sounds at last love's hour of promise,
Hour of hope and nuptial joy.

Curtain.

End.
