are scouted by those
who worship night.
All its flickering gleams
in flashes out-blazing
blind us no more
where we are gazing.
Those who death's night
boldly survey,
those who have studied
her secret way,
the daylight's falsehoods—
rank and fame,
honor and all
at which men aim—
to them are no more matter
than dust which sunbeams scatter,
In the daylight's visions thronging
only abides one longing;
we yearn to hie
to holy night,
where, unending,
only true,
Love extendeth delight!
(TRISTAN draws ISOLDA gently aside to a flowery bank, sinks on his knee before her and rests his head on her arm.)
(TRISTAN and ISOLDA sink into oblivious ecstasy, reposing on the flowery bank close together.)
BRANGÆNA (from the turret, unseen). Long I watch
alone by night:
ye enwrapt
in love's delight,
heed my boding
voice aright.
I forewarn you
woe is near;
waken to
my words of fear.
Have a care!
Have a care!
Swiftly night doth wear!
ISOLDA. List, beloved!
TRISTAN. Let me die thus!
ISOLDA (slowly raising herself a little). Envious
watcher!
TRISTAN (remaining in reclining position). I'll ne'er
waken.
ISOLDA. But the Day
must dawn and rouse thee?
TRISTAN (raising his head slightly). Let the Day
to Death surrender!
ISOLDA. Day and Death
will both engender
feud against
our passion tender.
TRISTAN (drawing ISOLDA gently towards him with expressive action).
O might we then
together die,
each the other's
own for aye!
never fearing,
never waking,
blest delights
of love partaking,—
each to each be given,
in love alone our heaven!
ISOLDA (gazing up at him in thoughtful ecstasy).
O might we then
together die!
TRISTAN. Each the other's—
ISOLDA. Own for aye,—
TRISTAN. Never fearing—
ISOLDA. Never waking—
TRISTAN. Blest delights
of love partaking—
ISOLDA. Each to each be given;
in love alone our heaven.
(ISOLDA, as if overcome, droops her head on his breast.)
BRANGÆNA'S VOICE (as before).
