Pierrette. Oh, Pierrot, what is it?
Pierrot. Love! I've found it at last. Don't you understand it all?
"I am a fool
Who has learned wisdom in your school."
To think that I've seen you every day, and never dreamed ... dreamed! Yes, ah yes, it's one of his beautiful dreams. That is why my heart seems full of the early morning.
Pierrette. Ah, Pierrot!
Pierrot. Oh, how my shoulders tingle! I want to soar up, up. Don't you want to fly up to the roof of heaven and sing among the stars?
Pierrette. I have been sitting on the moon ever so long, waiting for my lover. Pierrot, let me try on your smile. Give it to me in a kiss. [With their hands outstretched behind them, they lean towards each other, till their lips meet in a long kiss.]
Pierrette [throwing back her head with a deep sigh of happiness.] Oh, I am so happy. This might be the end of all things.
Pierrot. Pierrette, let us sit by the fire and put our feet on the fender, and live happily ever after. [They have moved slowly to the settle. As they sit there, Pierrot sings softly:]
"Baby, don't wait for the moon,
The stairs of the sky are so steep;
And mellow and musical June
Is waiting to kiss you to sleep."
